Sponsors
This year, we are excited to announce our current slate of sponsors. Automatic captions lead to situations like Zotero being called "Zorro" or "the Tarot" and important library jargon being mangled, so providing both ASL and captioning are very important to us. Our sponsors provide much-needed, essential work to make the conference accessible — we could not do this without them.We still have openings for sponsors to contribute to our live captioning costs.
Please email us if you, too, would like to sponsor the STEM Librarians Collaborative — just make sure you put SPONSORSHIP - before your subject starts so we can see it easily. Our sponsorship team this year is made up of Jenny Hart and Laura Palumbo.
IOP Publishing, completely covering our ASL interpreters
Project Euclid/Duke University Press, contributing to live captioning costs
Thank you to the STEM librarians community for all of your support! Please contact us at planning@stemlib.co if you would like to be added to our Discord server, our professional development hub.
If you need ASL interpretation and would like to connect with us (especially about any breakout rooms so we can organize logistics on that), please email planning@stemlib.co. ASL and captioning are provided by Luna 360.
