Hello! Welcome to the blog for the m-Libraries 2009 conference in Vancouver, BC. The conference programme is available here for download, and the conference home page with more information is http://m-libraries2009.ubc.ca/
I am here to introduce this blog and some of our more web-oriented resources before registration starts this Sunday, and to keep everyone abreast of what’s going on as the week progresses. We will most likely have opinions flowing into and out of this blog from several volunteers (and any interested commentators). We want the conference to be as accessible as possible of course, so if you would like to see many of the concurrent sessions but can’t be everywhere at once, check back here and we will hopefully have a little more information on what went down in the other room!
Also, keep in mind that m-Libraries 2009 has a larger web 2.0 presence outside of this blog. In addition to subscribing here, please feel free to follow us on Twitter, or join our facebook group. This way you can stay connected no matter where you are!
We are all looking forward to the speakers, as well as to hearing from all of you at the event. Please get out there and participate with these online tools, it can make a huge difference for mobile libraries if you do! Also, please keep an eye out for volunteers with “Ask Me” buttons if you have any questions during the week. Remember, registration starts at noon on Sunday so if you’re around early, come in and stop by!
Of course, a big thank you goes out to Sony and Emerald for their sponsorship of this event, and again, we are very excited about getting m-Libraries 2009 off the ground soon!
