About the Conference:
The Charleston Conference is an informal annual gathering of librarians,
publishers, electronic resource managers, consultants, and vendors of
library materials in Charleston, SC, in November, to discuss issues of
importance to them all. It is designed to be a collegial gathering of
individuals from different areas who discuss the same issues in a
non-threatening, friendly, and highly informal environment. Presidents of
companies discuss and debate with library directors, acquisitions
librarians, reference librarians, serials librarians, collection
development librarians, and many, many others. Begun in 1980, the
Charleston Conference has grown from 20 participants in 1980 to over 1,700
in 2015. http://www.charlestonlibraryconference.com
