This preconference will be of interest to librarians from both public and academic libraries (community college and 4+ year institutions), and will include speakers from all types of libraries who will share their perspectives on supporting adult learners. The preconference will employ a variety of presentation formats to engage participants, including panels where librarians will share successful case studies, a break-out instructional design workshop component, and opportunities for discussion.
