The theme of this year’s Conference is The Future Starts Now: Libraries adding Value through Information & Innovation. A mix of talks, presentation and workshops including hands-on training in one of the two IT suites cover topics such as – How do we invest in our professional practice? Review social media case studies in peace and with colleagues. Open Source & its impact on library development? Where next for public library services to schools? Why aren’t shared services more established across Irish libraries? How do we harness FAS E-learning for library gain? E-books and their place in library collections, along with a range of practical workshops to help participants up-skill and ensure that they are ready to face the challenging times ahead both for their organisations and for their personal careers.
