OLAC Inc. - 2024 OLAC Conference

The 2024 OLAC Conference took place from October 8-11, 2024. This was OLAC's first hybrid conference and was hosted at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, with the Elmer L. Andersen Library as its on-site location and Zoom as its virtual location. The Conference included in-depth workshops, presentations, and lightning talks.

Conference recordings will eventually be publicly available in the OLAC Repository. Until then, they are available to registered attendees via the conference Sched site (Sched login required) and are available to OLAC members via the members-only Conference Recordings page (OLAC member login required).
