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.
