Where will it all end? Emerging technology in the library
MmIT NW Conference
Liverpool John Moores University, 17th June 2009, 9.30 - 4.00
Do you ever wonder how best to keep up with the various technologies that are continually emerging within the library and information environment in which we work? Technological development and innovation has such a huge impact upon how we effectively deliver library services, it can often seem overwhelming just trying to keep up to date.
The North West branch of the Multimedia and Information Technology Group (MmIT) is hosting a conference to address exactly these issues. Join us in Liverpool on 17th June, for a one day conference where the very best speakers will be covering different aspects of library technology. We have a mixture of expert practitioners and consultants who will make our 2009 conference a very informative and enlightening event for all.
