Dear Library Community, 


Library Journal and School Library Journalinvite you to participate in our 5th annual online conference on October 1, 2015
The Digital Shift: Libraries @ the Center
This free event provide answers to some of the biggest challenges libraries face in the transformation of our culture from analog experiences to digital experiences. This daylong professional development conference can be viewed in groups or privately. There are no travel or registration fees, and attendees will connect with each other as well as hear exciting keynotes from award-winning scientist and the NY Times Best Selling author author Daniel J. Levitin, PhD (Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in an Age of Information Overload ), and Anil Dash, cofounder and CEO of ThinkUp, that will examine our shared digital future.
Our lineup of expert speakers and panelists will present innovative tools and ideas for and from libraries of all types. The day features different tracks dedicated to K-12, Academic, and Public, allowing for the day to be completely customizable. The day will focus on three key areas:


Content, Containers and Beyond
How libraries are creating, curating, and licensing, digitizing, archiving, and delivering content in today’s fast-changing digital world.
Collaboration and Innovation
How libraries are repositioning themselves as the digital nexus for their communities.
Leading the Learning Revolution
How libraries serve as essential links in a learning continuum.

•             StatBase: Open source data management for libraries
•             Partnering with Small Organizations to Digitize Local Content
