WA Library Unconference 2009

If you work in a library, use the libraries, think about libraries or want to take a part in making a change of your library, there will be Library Camp in Perth early next month.

There are only 100 places available for this event, and I heard so far there are at least 79 people have registered. Here is the details:

Date: Saturday, 3 October 2009
Time: 9:30am for a 10am start. 4pm finish.
Venue: Central TAFE, 140 Royal St, East Perth.
Cost: No financial cost but everyone is expected to actively contribute.
Catering: Lunch and coffee/tea will be provided free of charge during the day

In this event, anyone can prepare topics, but sessions are decided on the day. Everyone is expected to participate by either presenting, joining in the discussion or doing another job. In principle, whoever turns up is the right person and whatever he/she discusses is the right thing.

Dr Michael Stephens, Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Dominican University and author of the influential "Tame the Webblog", will also be a special guest participant in this event.

Some of the topics of the discussion include:
1. iPhone apps
2. RFID
3. Drupal for Library Websites
4. Mandatory Internet Filtering in Australia
5. Library of 2019
6. Zotero vs Refworks vs Endnote Cage Match
7. New Library Tools
8. etc
