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

$40 registration fee 

In September 2005, the Library Staff Development Committee of the Greater
Bay Area hosted a day-long forum on the future of libraries that was
attended by over 200 people. The morning session of last year's forum can be
viewed online at http://rurallibraries.org/webcasts/09-23-05/
<http://rurallibraries.org/webcasts/09-23-05/> . 

Now, one year later, we are following up with this practical,
implementation-oriented mini-conference. The keynote speaker and moderator
of panels will be leading library & information technology consultant Joan
Frye Williams.  Our panelists will be working librarians who will discuss
innovative models that they have developed and implemented at their own
libraries.
