CREATING TOMORROW: SPREADING IDEAS & LEARNING
With computers not only in and around libraries but also libraries in computers these days, tomorrow should be very interesting in the information world. Libraries are definitely at the forefront of experimenting with and adopting new technology, tools and processes.

Our conference theme, Creating Tomorrow: Spreading Ideas & Learning, focuses on leading edge technology tools, processes, and practices in libraries, as well as the new spaces and places where their products and services thrive. Join us at the most comprehensive conference for library and information professionals interested in technology to discover insights, strategies and practices that will allow us to create tomorrow and manage computers, libraries, digital information, and people in a cohesive, exciting, and productive way.

Information Today, Inc., a key provider of technology conferences for more than 20 years with Internet Librarian and KMWorld & Intranets, is pleased to announce the 24th annual Computers in Libraries—the most comprehensive North American conference and exhibition concentrating on all aspects of library technology. The conference offers a multifaceted program designed to meet the needs of librarians, information managers, systems professionals, Webmasters and Web managers, content evaluators, intranet strategists, portal creators, and information specialists. The focus of the conference is on leading edge technology that is transforming library operations, products and services, and roles within all types and sizes of library and information services.

Computers in Libraries caters to all interests and all levels of knowledge, offering five simultaneous tracks plus many workshops, networking opportunities, and an extensive exhibit hall. This year’s tracks and themes encompass: People (skills, organizations, roles); Places (virtual & physical); Digital/Virtual Library Services; Research Implementation and Implications; Social Media; Building Communities; Integrating Systems & Strategies; Information Discovery & Search; Technology Planning; Managing Content & E-Resources; Web Tools & Leading Edge Technology; Intranets & Portals; Search Engines, Case Studies of Internet & Intranet Librarians, Library Automation & Infrastructure, Managing Information and Knowledge Assets, E-Learning & Training, Web Design & Development, Streaming Multimedia, Managing Digitally, and more. Speakers are knowledgeable, authoritative, and focus on practical applications, “how to” solutions, and case studies as well as technical and managerial issues. Please consider sharing your knowledge and sending us a proposal to speak. Below are some of the topics we hope to cover, but don’t let this list limit your imagination! We look forward to hearing from you.
