This is a reminder that the deadline is fast approaching for the call for
presentations for the European Library Automation Group (ELAG) Conference, 22 –
24 April, 2009, Bratislava, Slovakia.
Theme : New tools of the trade
Web 2.0, social networking applications, blogs, wikis, RSS
feeds, facetted
searching, semantic linking and digital documents are just some
of the new
developments that are rapidly changing the systems environment
in libraries
and what users expect from the systems that they use. To
respond to these
challenges, systems librarians and developers need to
"re-tool": they need
to discover and master new ways of developing and applying
informatics to solve
information problems. The ELAG 2009 Conference is calling for
presentations
on new tools including:
- innovative software, applications and environments
- emerging formats, protocols and standards
- new ways of applying existing standards
- new procedures and techniques
Place: Bratislava, Slovakia
Host: University Library of Bratislava (Univerzitná knižnica v Bratislave)
