The Third Annual International Conference
Web 2.0, Social Networking, & Libraries:

How Libraries Are Exploiting Web 2.0 and Social Networking to Improve Service to Library Users and What It Means for Libraries, Library Users, and You, Including Ways to Better Serve Your Own Library Users with Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Web 2.0, OPAC and Web Site Enhancements, and more

This is me immodestly promoting two events at which I'll be speaking. One of them specifically asked me to, so I'm not entirely betraying the library code of anonymous servitude. The first is the NY Art Book Fair, where Alycia Sellie, Susan Thomas, and I will be talking about zines in libraries.
