Research Libraries as a Force for Knowledge Autonomy
University of Essex, Colchester, England (UK) | 30 June – 2 July 2027
For the 2027 edition of the LIBER Conference, we question ourselves: how research libraries can develop balanced approaches to openness and protection, build strong partnerships while retaining visibility as knowledge partners, and self-govern research and heritage information in ways that remain accessible and serve the public interest? How does this autonomy translate to better service frameworks for providing credible and diverse information, supporting AI literate communities, and maintaining open, viable infrastructures?

Contribute to the LIBER 2027 conference. We are looking for best, informative, evidence-based contributions on the following topics:
