The EAST Member Meeting Planning Committee is soliciting proposals for 3-7 minute lightning talks to be presented at the annual member meeting to be held virtually on October 15th, 9:30 am -12:00 pm ET (registration). Below are a few ideas for topics. These can be simple “how we did it at our library” presentations or topics you’d like to discuss with other members, which could serve as the basis for a breakout session at the meeting.
The following are suggestions and not a definitive list:
- AI in collection analysis
Dealing with deteriorating retained print titles
Retention pain points
What we’d like to see EAST do next
Thinking about the 2031 retention renewal date
Controlled digital lending and shared print
Automating workflows around shared print retentions
Deadline for submission is September 5, 2025
