Welcome to the 2017 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference site!! This year’s theme is Looking in, reaching out: Whom do we serve? The conference will focus on ways in which libraries are preparing to sustainably serve users in an environment of respect for all. The Planning Committee is particularly excited to have Lisa Hinchliffe, Professor/Coordinator for Information Literacy Services and Instruction in the University Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
