Mapping Transformation: Moving Forward, Trying Something New
Virtual Conference SpeakersFor only $300---or $225 for anyone registered
for 2012 ALA Annual Conference---you can offer professional development
for your staff, even in different locations, with up to 15 separate IP
addresses. There's a reason this quality event is considered one of the
best bargains in library continuing education.
With two days of interactive Web sessions, talks, and insights from
experts, innovation and inspiration will be plentiful. From building our
own ebook platforms to publishing the local community's unique content
and adding a DIY/Maker service for users, the presenters highlight how
new services are transforming both their libraries and their
communities. Sessions offer starting points for discussion as well as
practical ideas for moving forward and trying something new.
