Registration for 2024

The NWILL conference will be held September 18-20, 2024 in a unique hybrid format; attendees can join us in person at University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon or virtually through the Whova conference platform. Regardless of how you attend, you will have access to amazing presentations and networking opportunities!

Programming for 2024 includes presentations from our colleagues on topics such as E-Book ILL, Succession Planning, International Resource Sharing, Copyright, ISO 18626, Policy Harmonization, Training, Visualizing ILL Data and more. Most presentations will be in-person and live-streamed to our virtual audience. The full program will be posted on the NWILL webs ite and on the Whova conference platform.

We are pleased to announce that our 2024 Keynote Speaker is Sharon Morris, Public Library Leadership Principal Consultant at the Colorado State Library. Sharon’s interactive presentation will help us bring playful engagement to work and library culture.

Scholarships
We are happy to announce that the Conference Committee remains committed to sponsoring the attendance of ILL practitioners who would be unable to attend unless otherwise subsidized. Registration fees will be waived for three in-person and eight virtual attendees. In addition, the in-person attendees will receive a $500 travel stipend. Virtual registration fees will also be waived for attendees belonging to a federally recognized tribe. Details about the available scholarships and registration waivers can be found on the application form. To be considered, please apply no later than June 6.

Making your case to attend
Let your institution know that attending a resource sharing conference is an investment in their future and that you will share the knowledge and skills that you learn with your colleagues. Programs and recorded presentations from our past conferences are available on our website.

The NWILL Conference has been held virtually for three years and we have seen a significant growth in the number of attendees. For the last three years that the conference was held in person, we averaged about 150 attendees each year. We’ve grown to more than 600 attendees from at least 45 states, two Tribal Nations and five countries. We hope that our hybrid format will allow for in-person interaction with more than 100 attendees, plus virtual interaction with 300 to 500 attendees.

These comments from previous attendees may help in making your case to attend the 2024 NWILL conference:

"This is a great conference to get new ideas and meet some pretty wonderful people who are as passionate about Resource Sharing as you are. I look forward to coming every year."

"It's very useful, and I'd highly recommend attending. I've been going since my first year working in ILL, and I get many useful ideas every time I go. NWILL keeps innovating and I look forward to it each year."

“Great work. I appreciated the wide range of topics and found many of them very timely. I particularly appreciate panelists who talk about specific solutions or actions they've taken in response to a problem.”
