About the Conference:
The Charleston Conference is an informal annual gathering of
librarians, publishers, electronic resource managers, consultants, and
vendors of library materials in Charleston, SC, in November, to
discuss issues of importance to them all. It is designed to be a
collegial gathering of individuals from different areas who discuss
the same issues in a friendly and highly informal environment.
Presidents of companies discuss and debate with library directors,
acquisitions librarians, reference librarians, serials librarians,
collection development librarians, and many, many others. Begun in
1980, the Charleston Conference has grown from 20 participants in 1980
to almost 2,000 in 2016.
