About LIT

Built by library IT people, for library IT people. Ten years and counting.

Our mission

The mission of the Library IT Conference is to empower library systems by giving IT professionals the knowledge, tools and connections they need to address technological challenges, strengthen security and drive innovation, so libraries stay vital and accessible in a rapidly changing digital world.

LIT is a collaborative event brought to you by a dedicated team of IT professionals from library systems across British Columbia. The conference focuses on the unique challenges library IT teams face, with practical solutions, forward-thinking strategies and plenty of time to network with peers.

Our values

Collaboration

We foster connections and knowledge-sharing among IT professionals to strengthen library systems collectively.

Innovation

We embrace forward-thinking solutions and technologies to move libraries into the future of digital services.

Accessibility

We prioritize inclusivity and affordability, so libraries of all sizes can benefit from our insights and expertise.

Security

We champion the safeguarding of patron data and resources, so libraries remain trusted stewards of their communities.

The design team

Behind every great event is a great organizing team. The LIT Design Team is a group of volunteers who plan, shape and deliver the conference from start to finish: curating the agenda and speakers, coordinating logistics, building the website, reaching out to sponsors and even hustling for door prizes.
