[Nicole Purviance]

Nominate Keynote Presenters for the Library 2.013 Conference 

 

Last year, we invited you to nominate keynote speakers to lead the global
conversation about the future of libraries during the Library 2.012
Worldwide Virtual Conference. Thanks to your input, we celebrated a dynamic
lineup of keynote presenters <http://www.library20.com/page/2-012-keynotes>
including Moreno Barros from Brazil, Kathryn Greenhill from Australia, David
Weinberger from the United States, Laura Malita from Romania, and many other
renowned library and information science leaders from around the world. 

 

As we gear up for the Library 2.013 Worldwide Virtual Conference
<http://www.library20.com/2013> , scheduled for October 18-19, 2013, we
invite you to once again nominate your favorite speakers. Who has inspired
you lately? Have you heard a talk that gave you an aha moment? As you think
about who you want to nominate, please keep in mind that keynote presenters
do not have to speak English or travel for this conference. The Library
2.013 conference will be held in multiple languages and time zones entirely
online. To make your nominations, please fill out and submit the online
keynote speaker nomination form
<http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/keynote-speaker-nomination-library-2013> . All
nominations must be received by March 31, 2013. Self-nominations will also
be accepted. 

 

The Library 2.013 Worldwide Virtual Conference is a participatory conference
open to the public. In addition to keynote speakers, the conference thrives
on the research and knowledge shared by the library and information science
community. Everyone is invited to submit a presentation proposal - the
official call for proposals will go out in early April 2013. This year, the
virtual conference will cover eight subject strands, although presentations
do not have to fit into the conference strands to be considered.
