ELAG 2012 Conference 15-18 May 2012, Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Are your proud of the work you have been doing ?
Do you think you know stuff you should share ?
Do you have a great idea ? Are you able to teach your colleagues
something ?
Make yourself heard and contribute to ELAG 2012 by giving a presentation!

The theme of this year's conference is 'Libraries everywhere'. Libraries
are moving outside the walls of their buildings and the firewalls of
their networks in order to provide information to users wherever they
happen to be. They are applying mobile technology so that users can find
information, whether they are in the street or the classroom or
travelling to work or study. Libraries are participating in social
networks in order to be present in the virtual places that users visit
everyday. They are opening up and sharing library data so it can be
discovered via external systems and they are expanding beyond
traditional roles, curating raw research data from the laboratories to
ensure that results are verifiable and data can be re-used. As well,
while computing resources shift to the cloud or connect to grid
networks, libraries are moving beyond local systems and information
silos to discover, access and re-use information resources located
anywhere in the world.

The ELAG 2012 conference welcomes proposals for presentations, workshops
and pre-conference "hands-on" boot camps that address how new
technologies are extending the reach of the library and allowing library
services to be provided everywhere library users are found.

ELAG 2012 will be hosted by the Universitat de les Illes Balears
(www.uib.es) in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
