New
and cool tools are always important to Internet Librarians
and Internet Content Pros—and this year the
program is filled with new tools and techniques, applications
and opportunities to help us streamline our operations,
improve and enhance our customer relationships, develop
new applications, and more. Our 7th annual Internet
Librarian conference is a mixture of leading-edge
ideas, tools, expert speakers, and exciting new events—all
focused on information professionals and Internet-related
technologies.
IL 2003 features three keynote sessions, 100 dynamic
speakers in four simultaneous tracks, plus many in-depth
learning events and workshops, a fun and informative
evening session, cybertours, and a new Communities
of Interest event.
In addition to the extensive three-day conference
program, Internet Librarian 2003 also offers great
dining opportunities and receptions in the Exhibit
Hall. Please take the time to read through the program.
We’re sure you’ll find it to be the most
extensive and exciting technology event ever put together
for librarians and information professionals. We look
forward to seeing you in Monterey in November!
