Program Overview

Libraries Adapting to Change

Charles Darwin said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” From Small Computers in Libraries 40 years ago to our current look at new and emerging technology, AI and robotics, augmented and virtual technology along with new techniques and strategies the Computers in Libraries conference has continued to grow, adapt and evolve just like libraries and information services. Our world and our communities have been disrupted and changed in so many ways, and our libraries and information professionals have so many solutions, passionate advocates, and partners, it’s exciting to see info pros take a leadership role in strengthening our communities so they have a sustainable future. Whether that is a smart city, rural township, corporate organization, academic campus, K–12 school, or any other information-intensive community, we can and do make a difference. Computers in Libraries 2025 highlights creative examples of libraries innovating, taking advantage of leading technology, and making it happen in their communities.

Hear from forward-thinking libraries, creative FabLabs, and centers of information excellence; network and learn from leaders in the field; and join us as an active participant in the 40th Computers in Libraries—the most comprehensive North American conference and exhibition concentrating on all aspects of library technology.
