LIBRARIES & PUBLISHING 3.0:
connecting authors to readers in the digital age
Come to Vancouver!
A conference to explore almost everything you want to know about publishing and libraries in today’s world of changing cultures, technologies, economics, and literacies.
What does the library community need to learn about print, digital, and other format challenges in connecting authors to readers in a multimedia world? How do we identify and embrace rapidly shifting roles? How do we ethically critique volatile complexities posed by cultures, technologies, economics, and literacies in disjointed social flux?
I invite everyone to this conference – CLA members current and lapsed, members of related organizations, library workers everywhere, all library and information students and educators, public library trustees, vendors, publishers, writers, editors, booksellers, literacy providers, and friends of libraries interested in promoting the Canadian profession and the library and information services we provide to all members of society.
Gain valuable insights into the broader cultural, national and corporate contexts of which we are a part, and come away with new professional perspectives on the ecology of reading and the inexorable flux of the cultural record.
