The Western Australian Library Unconference is on again this year. This year the theme is : Library 2.0 and beyond: getting our hands dirty. We hope to include half a day of small hands-on workshops and a “technology petting zoo” with gizmoes and gadgets to fiddle with.

DATE: Friday 22 August 2008
TIME: 9:30am – 5pm
VENUE: State Library of Western Australia

If you would like to help out with organising, please subscribe to the unconfwalib google group and join in. If you attended last year, now is the time to give us feedback about what you’d like to see so we can make it even better this year.

Check out the unconference wiki for up-to-date details. You can
find out more and see what happened at the Library 2.0 on the loose unconference in 2007 here.

An unconference works on the principle that whoever turns up is the right person and whatever you discuss is the right thing. People prepare topics, but sessions are decided on the day. Everyone is expected to participate by either presenting, joining in the discussion or doing another job.

We aim to run this as a free event again this year, and are grateful to the State Library for providing the venue. If anyone would like to sponsor lunch on the day, please let us know.

The venue only holds 75 people. Registrations for attendance will open on 1 July 2008. Watch the wiki for details.
