Save the date for our 2016 DLF Forum, which will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7-9 November 2016! We also welcome Digital Preservation 2016 to the fold, which for the first time will be held in conjunction with the Forum, from 9-10 November (as part of NDSA’s move to DLF). Arrive early to participate the DLF Liberal Arts Colleges Pre-Conference, to be held this year on 6 November–all in the same location.

Registration is open now, and the full program is available!

The Forum will be at the historic Pfister Hotel, just blocks from Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Art Museum, dining destinations, and nightlife. The hotel has an incredible Victorian art collection, an artist-in-residence program, and a spa. Our local hosts will be the Marquette University Raynor Memorial Libraries, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries.

You can stay informed of all the news our 2016 Forum in Milwaukee by subscribing to our Forum mailing list, joining the DLF listserv, “liking” us on Facebook, or following us at @CLIRDLF on Twitter.
