good text for such classes that I know of. I wonder if RMBS could help overcome that by getting a group together, doing a basic text, and publishing it as we do with DCRMb etc. Duncan Stewart<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the era of climate change. We seek proposals for sessions that will connect these issues across our proven professional capacities for committed cultivation of inclusivity, technical excellence, strong collaboration, cultural and historical scholarship, educational
expertise, and resource stewardship. We encourage session proposals that explore new prospects of value and alternative lenses of assessment that center on the present and future flourishing of the humanistic efforts we serve.

not be connected to the conference theme. Seminars typically offer two to four presenters the opportunity to bring together ideas, case studies, critical perspectives, and reflections with the goal of educating attendees and fostering a wider discussion. A
successful seminar inspires audience members to consider multiple, diverse perspectives on a particular topic and take actionable ideas back to their home institutions. We welcome experimentation and reimagination of the RBMS Seminar and encourage non-traditional
formats and approaches. The Seminars Committee is available to work with proposers to help develop ideas for potential seminars.

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">A workshop is instructional and should have a hands-on component to make full use of the live, face-to-face format it provides. Workshops contribute to the
development of special collections professionals by training participants in new and evolving procedures, technologies, approaches, or standards. Workshops can be full or half day (6 or 3 hours). A full day runs 9:00-4:00 with 75 minutes for lunch and 15 minutes
at the end for certificates and evaluation. Workshops are typically limited to 30 or fewer participants and take place on the Tuesday before the conference. They are subject to an additional fee for participants. Presenters are given a small honorarium for
the course.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
