BMI team returns to the ARSL Conference 2024 in Springfield, connecting with rural and small libraries to discuss innovative solutions for preserving local history.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The 2024 Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) Conference, held in Springfield, MA, brought together hundreds of librarians, staff, and exhibitors committed to enhancing the capabilities of small and rural libraries across the country. The ARSL conference continues to be the leading event that highlights the unique challenges and successes of these essential institutions.
BMI Imaging Systems, Inc., with its long history of partnering with libraries, historical societies, and archives, was once again present at this year's event. Its decades of experience in digitizing newsprint, microfilm, and archival records have positioned it as a trusted partner for libraries of all sizes, particularly those in rural and smaller communities.
Jake Walker, BMI's Account Executive, reflected on the event: "The ARSL Conference is always a great opportunity to connect with librarians who are deeply passionate about preserving their local history. These smaller libraries often face significant budgetary constraints and limited resources, making it challenging for them to undertake large-scale digitization projects. It's rewarding to work with these institutions, understanding their specific needs, and finding solutions that allow them to preserve their collections and make them accessible for future generations."
This year's conference provided BMI with the opportunity to showcase its latest digitization technologies and discuss how it can continue to support rural and small libraries in preserving their invaluable collections. By participating in ARSL 2024, BMI remains committed to helping these libraries overcome their challenges and ensuring that the stories and records they safeguard are preserved for the future.
BMI looks forward to continuing our collaboration with the many libraries it connected with at this year's conference and to supporting their efforts in preserving local history.
