The Library Technology Conference provides a mix of traditional lecture-style presentations, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and poster sessions highlighting many of the technologies affecting how users interact with libraries, as well as how libraries are using technology to create new and better ways to manage resources. Sessions are geared toward all types of libraries, they include a wide range of topics and they are aimed at staff of varying skill levels. Any one interested in the changing technologies that are affecting libraries should plan to attend.

The LibTech 2010 Steering Committee is actively planning for another exciting conference which will provide an opportunity for library staff to learn about the evolving technologies affecting libraries and the services that they provide.
