2. INTERACTIVE STUDY GROUP - Monday, 22 April 2013
Transforming Your Library
22-23 April 2013, Citigate Central, SydneyAGENDAThe role of libraries and corporate information centres is changing, as the
demand for electronic services and online resources continues to grow. Libraries
must innovate, transform and create new ways to deliver information and
services to their clients and communities effectively.
The emergence of interactive social networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, Pinterest, blogs and wikis and new trends in mobile technology and
online resources might seem daunting to the traditional library service delivery
model. These online tools, however, give libraries the opportunity to reach out
to clients on their own turf, ensuring service delivery remains relevant.
This event gives you the chance to explore emerging technology, tools and
strategies for your library in an interactive environment. You’ll learn, question
and discuss, taking home practical information and real-world strategies to
apply to your organisation right away.
You will explore the following challenges:
Utilising social media to connect with clientsóó
Emerging technologies; opportunities and pitfallsóó
The impact of eBooks and online resourcesóó
Becoming a library advocate; building the business case to support fundingóó
and investment
Looking to the future: innovations in technology, information delivery andóó
library services
