Darien Library will be hosting a Drupal4Lib Camp on Friday, February  
27, 2009 from 9 am to 4 pm.


The camp will be an opportunity for libraries who are working with  
Drupal, or interested in implementing Drupal, to get together, share  
experiences, solve problems, and collaborate. This unconference will  
be a combination of a series of 10 min lightning talks given by Drupal  
veterans in the morning followed by break-out sessions in the afternoon.


Audio and video from Drupal4Lib Camp sessions will also be streamed  
lived online.


There is no registration fee. However, participation is limited to  
70.  Please register for the Drupal4Lib Camp athttp://drupalib.interoperating.info/node/167

Access is Canada's premier library technology conference, featuring a
single stream of sessions that deal with technology planning,
development, challenges and solutions. We are now accepting proposals
for prepared talks on the following topics (other ideas are more than
welcome):

- customized web applications and search interfaces

- national and provincial/state-wide consortia technology initiatives
- information policy
- digital and social media
- library catalogue innovations
- digitization projects
- institutional repositories
- end-user searching behaviours
- protocols and metadata

...or anything else suitably geeky, innovative and/or awe-inspiring!
Sessions are usually 45 minutes or 1 hour in length. Proposals should
include:

- your name, title, institutional affiliation, contact information,
blog/website URL
- 100 word (max) abstract describing your proposed presentation
- co-presenters you will (or hope to) present with

Submission Procedures:

- deadline for submission is February 22, 2008.
- send your proposal to Amanda Etches-Johnson, Program Chair, at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- each submission will be acknowledged and all presenters will be
notified of the status of their proposal by April 15, 2008.
- if you'd simply like to recommend topics and/or speakers (other
than yourself), feel free to get in touch!

Depending on the number of submissions, we can't promise that every
proposal will be accepted. However, we will have sessions set aside
for Lightning/Thunder talks, which provide an informal opportunity to
share your ideas with your peers.
