The New England Chapter of ASIS&T is excited to announce we are in the process of transitioning into a new regional chapter -- Northeast ASIS&T Regional Chapter, which encompasses New York, New Jersey, as well as states in New England. Be on the lookout this summer for announcements regarding by-laws and elections. As a result, we are increasing the number of our annual conference support awards to three to support participation in the ASIS&T 2021 Annual Meeting. For details and a link to the application, please visit our announcement.   The conference support award application deadline is June 30.  Applicants must live and/or working in the Northeast region (ME, NH, NY, NJ, VT, MA, RI, or CT).

In March, together with the Simmons University Student Chapter of ASIS&T, we held our annual conference virtually via zoom.The theme this year was It Took a Pandemic: Reinventing Libraries in an Era of Change and the day was filled with presentations and participatory breakout sessions.

In May, we held a webinar - Establishing a Global Community of Practice in Research Data Management- to explore the comprehensive RDM online training, Research Data Management Librarian Academy (RDMLA).
