About the Report
Rather than provide standard conference coverage (summary of sessions,
commentary on social events, and the insights of only one or two
reporters), we decided this year to open it up to the community
itself. We solicited contributions from participants, collected and
edited them, and organised them into thematic sections in the attached
PDF report -- call it a blend of new-world User Generated Content and
old-world publishing!
The result makes for an engaging read, and we thank all contributors
(each of whom also receives a free copy) for making it possible. In
these digital pages:
Why We Came; What We Experienced: Observations on the event overall
and how the experience met expectations (or not)
Visions of the Future of the Field: Forward-looking thinking on
where the world of library and information work is heading
Vendor Relations: Evolutions in the important relationships between
vendors and customers, and how expositions offer a way to solidify
them
Tips and Takeaways: New ideas, resources and techniques to make work
easier, more fun, more collaborative and more effective!
Suggestions for Future Events: Thoughts on making the 2009
conference (or any major event) even better.
