Submitted by: Mary Beth McAteer
The 2025 National Program Committee invites colleagues who are newer to the profession to submit a paper proposal for presentation at MLA ’25: Bridging Tradition and Innovation in Pittsburgh.
Hearing from new and diverse voices will enhance the conference experience and benefit our profession. Presenting at MLA ‘25 is a good career step because you gain experience, demonstrate professional growth, and enhance connections to your colleagues.
MLA supports librarians who are submitting for the first time in several ways.
