Dear colleagues
Sorry for cross mails - please forward to relevant recipients in your library community.
We have previously mailed preliminary information on an interesting library conference "Shattering Stereotypes" to be held in Seattle, USA, April 27 - 30. The conference site is now open for registration. You can access the conference site through "Public Libraries International Networks” homepage: http://www.public-libraries.net
At the conference there will be opportunities to discuss central library related themes, e.g.: Architecture, organization, media profile, self service, user involvement and other topics. Take-off for the debates will be the ground breaking new main library in Seattle. The Conference will consist of a combination of presentations and discussion sessions for the participants.
The new main library has since the opening, May 2004, attracted users by the tens of thousands every day and has become a Mekka for visitors from all over the world. with an interest for architecture and/or libraries.
The conference is arranged in a cooperation between Seattle Public Library and PLIN – "Public Libraries International Network".
Therefore the conference will also include presentations from members of PLIN, - e.g.: on self service and international library development. PLIN is a new library network, lifting the legacy from the successful International Library Network, financed by the Bertelsmann Foundation for several years. Behind the new network initiative are a number of former members of the Bertelsmann network.
Note that quick registration is advisable. This conference will attract interest from library people from all over the world - and there is a limit of participants of 300.
Hope to see you in Seattle - on behalf of the organizing committee.
