ILI search for library project showcase presentations
The hunt is on for speakers for Internet Librarian International (ILI) 2020, but organisers are asking potential contributors to be quick because the submissions deadline is Friday 3 April.
The team behind the event would like to hear of strategies for the 2020s - case studies, great stories, personal experiences and lessons learned from ideas, strategies and practical implementations. The conference's focus is on real-world innovations, big or small, that are making a difference to organisations, clients and communities.
Speakers come from all over the world - from academic and research libraries, public libraries, school libraries, corporate settings and more - to share their real-world projects, initiatives and transformations. Mostly they do this by presenting a 15-minute case study.
The following is a list of potential themes – from AI and big data to zero cost projects - but would-be speakers are asked not to be limited by this list: there is also a wildcard option!
- AI and big data
- Apps, tools and tech
- Coaching, learning, teaching
- Creative communities, networks and partnerships
