Net Initiatives for Tough Times: Digital Publishing, Preservation & Practices
We live and work in challenging times. How can our digital practices solve our current dilemmas? Our conference theme,
‘Net Initiatives for Tough Times: Digital Publishing, Preservation, & Practices, emphasizes creative and innovative internet
techniques and practices being used in library and information services to meet today’s challenges — the many creative ways in
which information is published, accessed and shared by libraries, information professionals and their communities. The conference
highlights focuses on exciting new initiatives and innovations in all types of information enterprises, tools and techniques for
enhancing user-friendly digital information flows, fresh ideas for traditional and emerging roles and values of information professionals,
information discovery and visualization methods for dealing with today’s information overload, building new communities and supporting
online connections in engaging ways.
Internet Librarian 2009 caters to all interests and all levels of knowledge with four simultaneous tracks plus many
workshop and networking opportunities. 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 2009 provides attendees with many chances to meet and hear from leading edge information professionals
in all types of environments—leaders in the information industry who are integrating content and delighting their clients, organizing
and managing digital content in creative ways, setting the context for excellence in information utilization in their organizations,
revolutionizing the roles of info pros, building strong collaborative communities among their customers and colleagues, and using new
technologies in creative and exciting 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.
We look forward to seeing you in Monterey in October!
