I am presenting a Keynote at 21:00 WST on Thursday 4 October with Mal Booth, University Librarian at the University of Technology in Sydney. The title is "Creativity and Libraries: you keep using that word. I do not think that it means what you think it means".

Here is some more information about the conference.

The Worldwide Library 2.012 Virtual Conference is next week, and kicks off early Wednesday, October 3rd. We have an amazing (and packed!) global schedule of 150 accepted presentations and 10 keynotes that will challenge your ability to get any sleep during the two days of the conference.

1. The full hour-by-hour schedule for the conference has been posted, with instructions on connecting and participating. http://www.library20.com/page/sessions-and-schedule. Once on this page, choose your time zone, and click on the links to the individual session titles for more details and, starting on October 3rd, the links to the specific virtual room for each session.

2. We still need volunteer moderators! You don't have to be a Blackboard Collaborate expert, but if you are, or you take the one-hour training, then you are qualified and we could really use your help. :) Please see the information for volunteers (and join the volunteer group) at http://www.library20.com/group/volunteer-group-library-2-012.

3. Spread the word! Library 2.012 is free to anyone to attend, so please let others know about the conference. Last year we had almost 10,000 attendee logins, and we'd love to see even more people become aware of the conference and the terrific community. Logos you can use for blog posts, emails, etc. can be found athttp://www.library20.com/page/2-012-press-media. At the bottom of this note is a short text message you can use as well, especially for emailing. Please take the time to send to your colleagues or community.

Thank you, and see you online!
