Conference Buzz: Internet Librarian 2011
From October 17th to the 19th, over a thousand librarians and information professionals gathered in Monterey, California for the 15th annual Internet Librarian conference.
Information Today, Inc, the conference sponsor, describes event as the only conference for information professionals who are using, developing, and embracing Internet, Intranet, and Web-based strategies in their roles as information architects and navigators,Webmasters and Web managers, content evaluators and developers, taxonomists, searchers, community builders, information providers, and trainers. This year the formerly separate Internet@Schools conference ran as a special track within the larger conference.
This year Iris Hanney, president of Unlimited Priorities, attended a co-located event that is new this year. The Library Directors Digital Strategy Summit. The theme of Strategic Choices for 2020 was chosen to help library leaders come together and create a strategic plan for the future of their organization.
