Roll for Initiative is the 2020 theme for The Collective, the most affordable, interactive, and down-to-earth gathering for academic librarians! (We dare you to fact check us on that.)

If you’ve ever played Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), you already know the iconic phrase “roll for initiative”--and if you haven’t, there’s plenty of room for your ideas, too! “Rolling for initiative” establishes who will go first in the fight in the game of D&D but it can also be thought of more broadly as a means of taking action, stepping up, and bravely volunteering to solve a problem or move forward with the story that you and your quest-mates will tell. In this larger sense, we invite you to “roll for initiative” with your session proposal ideas for the Collective 2020.
