NOTHIN’ BUT NET @ Internet
Librarian 2004
Starring Info Pros in Content, Context,
& Communities
We are pleased to present the eighth annual Internet
Librarian conference and exhibition—the
ONLY conference designed for information professionals
who are using, developing, and embracing Net and
Web-based strategies in their roles as information
searchers, Webmasters and Web managers, content
evaluators and organizers, product developers, and
more. As the premier tools for information managers
and librarians, Net technologies are the focus of
this conference. It provides an active forum for
our excellent speakers to explore the exciting range
of issues and challenges facing information professionals
today as well as an opportunity for you to network
with other leading-edge Internet librarians.
The Internet is our backbone and it continues to
provide us with opportunities to streamline our
operations, improve and enhance our customer relationships,
develop new applications, and more. Keeping up with
the new tools and techniques is always a challenge
but Internet Librarian 2004 definitely
meets that challenge, especially with the Info Pros
Stars featured in our program. Our 8th annual Internet
Librarian conference is a mixture of leading-edge
ideas, tools, expert speakers, practical tips and
exciting new events—all focused on information
professionals and Internet-related technologies.
IL 2004 features four keynote
sessions; 100 plus dynamic speakers in four simultaneous
tracks plus two days of Internet@Schools
West, many in-depth learning events
and workshops, a fun and informative evening session,
cybertours, and communities of interest. We look
forward to seeing you in Monterey in November! |
