The keynote presentation, "Ignore All Previous Instruction: AI, Libraries, and Information Literacy," will be given by St. Kateā€™s MLIS alum and current Director of Information Technology at the University of Minnesota Libraries, Cody Hanson.
The Summit is the annual gathering of our community. Students, alums, faculty (fulltime, adjuncts), staff, Advisory Council, employers, LIS Professionals, and friends of the program are all invited to attend.
