Hi all!
We're so pleased to announce the schedule for Code4Lib SE, July 16 at UGA Special Collections. We'll have a full day of talks ranging from LibGuides and search suggestion systems to inherited applications and AI for repository management, description, and code assistance. There is also a good chunk of time devoted to general discussion. We'll be asking you for discussion topics at the registration table, so come with an idea or two to scribble down on a post-it note.

A visual schedule is attached with a text version pasted below! You can also find more information on the wiki: Southeast 2026 - Code4Lib<https://wiki.code4lib.org/Southeast_2026>
We still have spots left, but are filling up!

Please register by June 24: https://estore.uga.edu/C27063_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=470&FROMQRCODE=true&SINGLESTORE=tr…<https://estore.uga.edu/C27063_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=470&FROMQRCODE=true&SINGLESTORE=true>
