50 sessions and
3 keynotes, and the schedule with connecting information is listed for time zones throughout the world.
We're celebrating the fifth anniversary of our conference! Huge thanks and a shout-out to founding partner
The School of Information at San José State University and its director (and conference co-chair),
Dr. Sandra Hirsh, for the vision and support that has made this unique event a reality. With their help the conference community has grown to over 21,000 members, and we encourage you to learn more, make connections, and get future announcements by joining
Library 2.0.
For our pre-conference event this year, we're excited to announce
Teacher Librarian Day on Monday,
October 19th, a five-hour special (and also free) series of online sessions around the topic of "Teacher Librarians and School Culture" - organized by
Joyce Valenza, with
lots of
special guests, and supported by
CiSSL, the Center for International Scholarship in School Libraries at Rutgers. The conference has inherited the Global Teacher Librarian Ning network, with over 7,000 members--learn more and connect with others at
