This issue is historically the Conference Issue, where the Alki Editorial Committee covers some of the ideas that were raised at the conference. You’ll see some great thoughts about virtual conferences (Hua), a look at the keynote by Wanda K. Brown (Pressley), and a tasting menu of conference sessions (Bruno). We are excited to be including a conversation between myself and Greg Bem where we talk about Open Pedagogy, inspired by Bem’s WLA presentation. But we also have the launch of our Anti-Racism, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion column (Martin), as well as a piece on libraries and civic engagement during elections (Carlson-Prandini), an examination of Collection Development for the new Muckleshoot Ed.D. cohort at the University of Washington Tacoma (Orth), and much more! Our regular columnists shine, as they always do! And make sure to check out our Community Survey results, because so many of you graciously shared your thoughts and advice.
