I'am still participate in American Library Association 2010 Annual Conference in Washington June 24-29. Today I will participate in a series of interesting presentations. I will start the day with:
Saturday 8.00 a.m -10.00 p.m
Grassroot Program - Digital Initiative for College Libraries
University libraries, museums, and commercial repositories have made
great efforts to select, convert and make available, some of their collections through digital initiatives. How does such an initiative translate to smaller institutions, including colleges. What collection will give the library the biggest digitization bang for its buck? Currently, libraries are asked what their roll will be in such a fast paced technological world. Here is an opportunity for the library to demonstrate its worth during the transition from print.
Speakers: David Dudek, Washington College, Information Commons

Participatory Democracy in an Internet Age
The 2008 elections were a potential watershed moment for the intersection of politics and the Internet. Candidates and voters connected in new ways reshaping campaign planning, discourse and politics. New mediums of communication from the campaign trail, such as Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and other social networking tools may radically alter U.S. democratic institutions, including how Americans get information about and interact with
public officials. Learn how the Internet is transforming participation in the
political process.
Speakers: Julie Barko Germany, George Washington University, Director, Institute
for Politics, Democracy & the Internet; David Karpf, Brown University,
Postdoctoral Research Associate, Taubman Center for Public Policy
I will finish the day by hearing the author
