Talis Insight 05: Last call for papers
Talis is once again hosting Insight 05, its annual conference, exhibition
and awards dinner for professionals in the public and academic library
domain.
The theme of this year’s event, to be held at Hilton Birmingham on 15th-
16th November, is Above and Beyond: Exceeding customers’ expectations.
Within this context, visitors to the event will hear keynote speakers
discuss the strategic challenges that face today’s libraries, as well as
be given the opportunity to mingle with Talis staff, partners and other
library professionals.
Why not submit a paper for Insight 05?
Have you excelled in any way that you’d like to share with others? Do you
have an issue that you’d like to discuss? Or, perhaps, you’ve implemented
