Revolutionizing the Net with Content, Connections & Conversations
Internet librarians have been revolutionizing the Net for many years and are creating opportunities for connections
and conversations, adding value to and providing access to many types of content, implementing user friendly
interfaces, and much more. Hear about leading edge tools and techniques for revolutionizing your community,
campus or organization at Information Today's 15th annual Internet Librarian. This conference provides the ideal
opportunity to gather insights and ideas to ignite our imaginations and spark innovation.
Our conference theme, Revolutionizing the Net with Content, Connections & Conversations emphasizes creative
and innovative Internet techniques and practices being used in library and information services to build strong
communities with huge ranges of content (in many different formats), multiple types of connections (both digital
and in person), and positive conversations which engage participants and add value to their work and their lives!
Join us at the most comprehensive conference for library and information professionals interested in technology to
discover the insights, strategies and practices that allow us to push the envelope in expanding the net, manage
libraries and digital information, and enhance the information sharing and learning experience of people in our
communities. Internet Librarian 2011 provides attendees with lots of opportunities to meet and hear from leading

ways. This conference encourages you to bring and share your ideas and champion new practices - this is where
ideas and action come together, where innovation ignites.
