"The Special Libraries
Association conference is an
exciting event, with news,
gatherings, and an exchange
of ideas that help shape the
library world. The blog hastens
the speed of information sharing,
and we're always enthusiastic
about improving access to information." said
Tina Creguer, director, communications,
ProQuest Information and Learning.
“We hear so much about
how Weblogs have the potential
to obfuscate our trade press
or usurp our role as reporters,” said
Dick Kaser, ITI’s vice
president of content. “But
actually I think their true potential is a very interesting
fast-to-press publishing platform designed to amplify
our expertise as industry commentators and professional
journalists.”
