Brooke Morris-Chott writes: “The picturesque Wasatch and Oquirrh mountains surrounding Salt Lake City set the stage for the first in-person Core Forum, held October 13–15. The three-day event was the inaugural conference for the American Library Association’s newest division, Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures. It featured programs designed around six different education tracks: access and equity, assessment, buildings and operations, leadership and management, metadata and collections, and technology.” Keynote speakers included University of Utah philosophy professor C. Thi Nguyen and architect Jonathan Moody.
