The NWILL Planning Committee is excited to open the call for proposals for the 2025 Northwest Interlibrary Loan & Resource Sharing Conference. This hybrid conference will be held September 9-11, 2025 in person at the University of Oregon<https://www.uoregon.edu/about> in Portland, Oregon, and virtually on the Whova conference platform.


Presenters are invited to share their knowledge and experiences through a real-time 45-minute session, a short pre-recorded lightning session, a real-time 60-minute panel discussion, or a 1 hour and 45-minute workshop.

We welcome submissions from library professionals and paraprofessionals working in all types of libraries. Topics can be directly related or adjacent to interlibrary loan and library resource sharing. Preference may be given to presenters who will attend the conference in person.
