[CODE4LIB] ELag 2017 Athens, please send in your proposals

[Boheemen, Peter van]

Dear colleagues,

Are your proud of the work you have been doing ? Do you think you know stuff 
you should share ? Do you have a great idea ? Are you able to teach your 
colleagues something ? Make yourself heard by doing a presentation at Elag 2017 
!

The theme that was chosen for this year conference is ‘Automation’. Over the 
last years, library automation was very focused on data treatment and end user 
interfaces. These are still very important fields of interest and we welcome 
workshop proposals and interesting presentation proposals in these fields. But 
this year we would like to focus a bit more on library workflows. More focus on 
library back office activities. Especially for back office actvities that 
support a modern library. So this can go from using ‘intelligent’ devices in 
libraries to processing and using user activity logs in library back office 
processes. I hope you are just excited about this theme as we are.

We hope this quite general theme will inspire you to present your thoughts and 
work.

For more inspiration, see the sub-themes page: 
http://elag.org/2016/11/09/sub-themes-elag-2017/

Guidelines for conference presentations are available at: : 
http://elag.org/2015/11/09/presentation-guidelines/

ELAG 2017 will be jointly organized by the National Technical University of 
Athens, the Hellenic Academic Libraries Link, the National Library of Greece 
and the Department of Librarianship and Information Systems of the 
Technological Education Institute of Athens.

Please send in a short proposal for a presentation, workshop or bootcamp this 
week at http://elag.org
