[Hersh, Daniel]

The Future of Libraries, Part II: Models That Work
October 18, all day
San Francisco Public Library, Koret Auditorium (Main Library)

In September 2005, the Library Staff Development Committee of the Greater
Bay Area hosted a day-long workshop on the future of libraries that was
attended by over 200 people.  Now, one year later, we are presenting a
practically oriented one day mini-conference that will feature librarians
who have developed and implemented innovative services.

A tentative agenda and near-final speakers list is below.  When registration
opens up I will post another message to this list .
