PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Day One: Thursday, May 29, 2008
Focus will be on discussing broader
technology trends affecting libraries and to share examples of how libraries
within our region are responding to these trends. The topics covered will include
how libraries are:
- designing
and incorporating more dynamic and user friendly interfaces into their
catalogs, research databases, and web sites;
- managing
the resources they
provide in response to emerging information technologies and the
changing needs of their users;
- engaging
users in the social world online and harnessing the momentum and interactive
power of these social web spaces;
- responding
to changes brought about by an evolving publishing environment
including open access initiatives and digital publishing practices;
- using
open source software to expand the resources made available
to users.
Sessions are still being finaized. Detailed information
on specific topics and presenters will be available soon.
