Developing and Managing Networked Information Content
Includes strategies for the creation, management, presentation, accessibility, and preservation of digital collections, digital libraries, and federated services in support of digital content, or the reassessment of content and collections in light of current developments in diversity, inclusion and equity. Accessibility, digital scholarship, institutional repositories, and digital preservation are also included here.

Transforming Organizations, Professions and Individuals
This theme encompasses organizational initiatives that facilitate cooperation across institutional units and professional cultures, particularly with respect to collaboration between librarians, information technologists, and other key players within the research and education ecosystem (offices of research, faculty, publishers, and instructional designers and technologists, for example). Currently, particular areas of focus within this theme include career paths and professionalization of roles for those who support data-intensive research, organizational structures to support digital scholarship, the acquisition and creation of instructional materials, and responding to and advancing changing scholarly research practices.

Building Technology, Standards, and Infrastructure
The key areas of standards and infrastructure development fall under this heading. Other examples of topics within this theme include identifiers, digital books, metadata, distributed and federated network services, harvesting, recommender systems, personalization and other emerging technologies. Issues surrounding security and privacy also fall under this theme.
