Is this Australias first library unconference?
What’s the best part of a conference? Most people agree it’s the networking; the opportunity to talk to colleagues. How about a day that just has that – a whole powerpoint free zone! Don’t be talked at – be part of the conversation. The Unconference is modelled on Library Camps held in 2006 in the US, and the idea is that participants shape the agenda and are responsible for the day. An unconference focuses on who’s going to be at the event and what they’re interested in. The organisers provide space, enough blank surfaces to write on so that people can self organise and a general theme for the day. Everything else is up to the partipants. The Library 2.0 Unconference will be held in Melbourne on 2 March 2007. You would have come across the idea of Library 2.0 / Web 2.0 and perhaps you are interested to know more about it and how it might be applied to your library service.
