Sage’s 2023 Charleston Library Contest is now open for entries. To enter, we’re asking academic librarians and library workers to submit a response to this question: 

What do we need to do to ensure that academic libraries thrive in the future? 

Make your case that your idea will lead to a thriving future for libraries.  

Email submissions to Sage.Contest@sagepub.com with the subject line “2023 Charleston Library Contest” and include:

• Name of your library (if applicable) and higher education institution where you work. 

• A response to the above question between 100 – 200 words. 

Entries must be submitted by September 13th, 2023, at 11:59 PM PST. 

The grand prize winner will receive complimentary registration to the conference, as well as a $500 travel stipend. An additional five winners will each receive $50 Amazon gift cards. The winning entry will be featured in the Charleston Conference’s photo desk calendar (for calendar year 2024) which will be given to all conference attendees. 

Librarians and library workers play a pivotal role in ensuring student success and in the scholarly process of researching faculty. We believe investing in their future means investing in all of higher ed and as an independent company, we are free to look for new and creative ways to support them. Please feel free to reach out with additional ideas.
