ACRL 2021 Recap
I recently attended my first ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries) conference, which was held virtually in April. The conference theme was "Ascending into an Open Future," and packed with great content over four days. Many of the presentations I attended were excellent, thought-provoking, and aspirational. I will carry the information and ideas discussed with me for a long while. Here are just a few highlights from the presentations I attended.
MLA 2019 Annual Conference recap
There were some great sessions this year at the Minnesota Library Association Annual Conference, which took place at a new conference venue, the Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota.

SDLA 2019 Annual Conference recap
I had the pleasure of attending the South Dakota Library Association Annual Conference in Spearfish. Like the beautiful landscape surrounding it, I found the conference engaging and inspriring. The first day I presented a preconference on linked data developments in libraries, and the room was full of staff from school, public, and academic institutions. Between presenting and hanging out at the Minitex booth, I attended some great sessions, and had the chance to hear ALA President Wanda Brown speak during a keynote session.

My colleagues and I attended the November Amigos virtual conference Innovating with Metadata.

While there were several breakout sessions to follow, I would like to summarize one in particular: Analyzing Linked Data From and SEO Perspective.
