Internet Librarian International 2008 - Early Bird Registration Ends 24 September

Internet Librarian International 2008: Translating 2.0 Technologies for Tangible Benefits & Transparency
Dates: 16-17 October 2008 (Preconference Workshops: 15 October) .
Venue: Novotel London West, London, UK

Early Bird Registration for this conference ends on 24th September. UKeiG are supporters of the event and Hon Sec Karen Blakeman will be giving a presentation on tips for more effective searching of the web and new technologies.

As a workplace tool the internet has become embedded in our professional lives. Whatever type of library, the challenge is to evaluate technologies in the light of their benefits to our business environments. Now in its 10th year, Internet Librarian International continues to place emphasis on the practical rather than the theoretical.

Topics for 2008 include:

• Library 2.0 and Web 2.0: learn how these technologies work in reality - not just theory - and how they affect your library
• Search analytics: without measurement, do you know how effective your projects are and whether you're reaching the right audience?
• Information search and discovery: the search world continues to evolve - get a grip on what these changes mean to you and your organisation
• Transparency: much of 2.0 revolves around collaboration and transparency, so why are some institutions more prone to adopting transparency than others?
• Web design: moving beyond the accepted principles of usability, learn how web design continues to evolve

Plus the usual wide range of social and networking activities, keynotes, pre-conference workshops, sponsor showcase, and a chance to catch up with colleagues from 30 countries.
