The conference session "What’s Hot & What’s Not: Trends in Technologies and Services in Libraries" will be held on Sunday, May 4, 11am-12:30 pm. There are 3 terrific speakers scheduled and the conference session will be augmented by virtual posters, including: Introducing New Technologies through Collaboration The Library as Experience; Interactive Components in an Architecture Library University of Minnesota Digital Content Library: Collaborating and Sharing Across Disciplines for the Common Good Virtual Voice: The Art Library Blog Web2.0 for Color Theory Targeted Instruction: A Staffing Solution for Coaching New Digital Image Users Next Generation OPACS: Current Practices & Future Opportunities for Art Libraries The beauty of virtual posters is that they offer more flexibility for presenters. If you can't attend the conference, you can participate, virtually. If you missed the deadline for poster proposal submission, but have a really innovative idea to share with your colleagues, it's not too late to get involved. Virtual poster sessions (url or ppt file) may describe an innovative library program, analyze a problem and its new and/or creative solution, and/or report research findings.
