Announcing the first Collaboration UnConference, a free unconference for anyone interested in technology uses in Arkansas libraries. This day-long event will be an opportunity to learn, to share ideas, to discuss projects, and to build relationships with like-minded colleagues.
Join us for lively conversation concerning the topics that interest you most. Attendees will determine the discussion topics during the opening session. Anyone is free to participate and to present. Potential topics include blogging, library 2.0, a state-wide union catalog, or open source library applications. Suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
Who should attend?
Collaboration UnConference is intended for anyone with an active interest in technology, from newbies to system administrators. All types of libraries-academic, archives, K-12, public, special, etc.-will be represented. The more types represented, the better the discussions!
