This quarter’s report starts with a review of the one-day Potomac Technical Processing Librarians Annual Meeting, with topics focused on the status of linked data. Next is an American Association of Law Libraries Meeting and Conference session on format migration that, while given from a law library perspective, provides useful information for all professionals working through print to electronic format changes. The remainder of the conference reports are from the 2022 Charleston Conference and start with a virtual session on electronic resource licenses that is an excellent summary for those responsible for negotiating licenses. The in-person conference reports cover sessions on an assessment framework for negotiating transformative agreements, an overview of a new cooperative collections project that will be standards based, and one on mis- and dis-information with specific guidance for publishers and librarians’ collection development efforts. The final reports cover two panel sessions on preservation–one on the importance of digital preservation and the other on a preservation policy from NASIG.
