Library stars: best of the best 2008
2 September 2008
Alice Springs Convention Centre
Library stars makes its return at the dreaming08 conference in Alice Springs. Following its successful debut in Perth in 2006, the forum, hosted by ALIA’s Public Libraries Advisory Committee (PLAC), will showcase public libraries, their projects, and successes. It will be held on Tuesday 2 September 2008 at the Alice Springs Convention Centre.
Sponsored by Peter Pal Library Supplies and S Central, suppliers of the Bibliotheca RFID solution, the program is designed to inspire and recognise public library practitioners.
The keynote speaker is Inga Lunden, Director of the Stockholm Public Library. Stockholm has just announced the winner of the architectural competition for a new central library incorporating the famous Asplund building.
The themes for 'Library stars: best of the best' will reflect the 'dreaming' themes for the ALIA 2008 Biennial Conference :
- Are you entrepreneurial (eg in your marketing, fundraising, grants, partnerships, developing sustainable services)?
- Are you accessible (eg in indigenous access and services, multicultural services for all sectors, information literacy, future access - digitisation, preservation)?
- Do you provide meeting places (eg libraries as community hubs, collaborative learning spaces, promoting the social role of libraries, online meeting places)?
The program will emphasise informal participation and interaction and there will be plenty of time to discuss each library’s presentation and learn from each other.
Registration will be open in mid - May
