Times have changed since the first Internet Librarian International 10
years ago. The challenge now is to maximise the value of the internet
for libraries, librarians, and library users - and prove the value of
librarians in our communities. This holds true for all types of
libraries - public, academic, commercial and government - and for those
outside the traditional library-web designers, content evaluators,
portal creators, systems professionals and independent researchers.
The emphasis of the conference is on the practical rather than
theoretical: case studies and proposals about initiatives in your
organisation, not product pitches or overviews. What has worked in your
work environments and what has not?
Have you:
* Got information to share that will be of value to your peers?
* Completed an innovative project at your library?
* Found a new way to present electronic resources?
* Proved the versatility of information professionals?
* Introduced exciting new technologies?
* Learned lessons when plans didn't go as well as expected?
Participate in Internet Librarian International 2009 by
* Presenting a paper
* Participating in a panel discussion
* Leading a workshop
If you would like to be considered as a speaker, please submit your
ideas at http://www.internet-librarian.com/CallforSpeakers.shtml
The Advisory Committee will review all submissions. Notification
regarding acceptance will be made the end of April. If your proposal is
selected, the primary speaker will receive a gratis registration to the
full conference, which includes lunches and a reception. The organisers
are not responsible for speakers' travel and accommodation costs.
