The Council of Botanical & Horticultural Libraries is virtually hosting our 57th Annual Meeting from May 6-8, 2025, focusing on the theme of “Where do we grow from here?” This theme is grounded in priorities we see as critical and fundamental to CBHL, our profession, and our institutions: discovery, diversity, advocacy, and sustainability.
Presenter(s) are invited to submit a proposal for a 15-minute presentation on any aspect of these current and future changes, challenges, and opportunities. All sessions will be virtual, and sessions will be recorded and made available asynchronously.
Please submit proposals of 150-250 words, including your name and email contact information, to this Google Form by February 28, 2025.
Any questions or concerns regarding presentations can be relayed to Allaina Wallace, CBHL Past President, at [email protected].
We look forward to receiving your session submissions!
