Libraries are at the forefront of experimenting with and adopting new technology, but are they as focused on their clients as they are on technology? New tools and processes have ignited creative content mashups, specialized and personalized services for community segments, and exciting new techniques for dealing with voluminous information flows. Now user-generated content in conjunction with new tools is shaping the new information world.

It highlights leading-edge online initiatives and innovations in all types of information enterprises, tools and techniques for enhancing user-friendly digital information flows, information discovery and visualization methods for dealing with todays information overload, building new communities and supporting online connections in engaging ways, supporting change and training, and more. Join us at the most comprehensive conference for library and information professionals interested in technology to discover insights, strategies, and practices that will allow us to manage computers, libraries, digital information, and people in a cohesive, exciting, and productive way.
