[Nicole Purviance]

Maker Spaces, Learning Commons, 3-D Printing: What Will You Speak About
during the Library 2.014 Conference?

 

Beat the rush and submit your presentation proposal
<http://www.library20.com/page/proposal-submission>  for the Library 2.014
Worldwide Virtual Conference by June 15, 2014. That’s the date for early
acceptance, and the earlier your proposal is submitted and accepted, the
more flexibility you’ll have in scheduling your presentation time during
this two-day, around-the-clock conference about the future of libraries in
the 21st century. 

 

Your presentation doesn’t have to be completed yet. You may simply submit a
short abstract describing what you plan to talk about. For example, Ayyoub
Ajmi, a digital communications and learning initiatives librarian at the
UMKC School of Law, submitted his proposal
<http://www.library20.com/forum/topics/google-glass-at-the-umkc-law-school-l
ibrary>  about using Google Glass in the Leon E. Block Law Library. 

Raymond Pun, a reference and research services librarian from the New York
University Shanghai, plans to present from China about the challenges and
opportunities to utilize the new “WeChat” app to support student research
and reference services in a global network university. View his proposal
