On top of the VALATech Boot Camp, VALA will also be holding the L-Plate Series, the details of which have just been announced.

This year it will only be 1/2 day long, to be held on Monday afternoon, 8th February, before VALA commences.

The program will comprise a series of 1/2 hour overviews, intended to give some background to the type of content that will be discussed in paper’s presented at the Conference proper.

Topics to be covered include Open Source Library Systems, presented by our own lovely Kathryn Greenhill, as well as sessions on Library Mashups and APIs, Semantic Web, Cloud Computing, Discovery Layer Interfaces, Social Web apps for libraries and eBooks.

Registration is free for VALA attendees, but places are limited, so please check out L-Plate Series for more details and to book your place.
