The Charleston Conference continues to be a major event for information and idea exchange among librarians, vendors, and publishers. Although 2022 was thankfully a less disruptive year than 2021, changes continued to be seen in the industry. Conference attendees continued to remark on the informative and thought‐provoking sessions in a hybrid environment.

This is the eighteenth year that Beth R. Bernhardt, Consortia Account Manager at Oxford University Press, has put together the proceedings from the Conference. It’s the fourteenth year for Leah Hinds, Executive Director, and the sixth year that we are joined by Lars Meyer, Associate University Librarian, Access and Resource Services at Emory University. We are pleased to share some of the learning experiences that we, and other attendees, had at the conference.
