<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recently posted a question asking about “Tablets in Libraries” and came across a free virtual conference on such a topic: “So Your Library Wants To Lend iPads” by Heather Westhaver from Burling Public Library in
<span class="event-description">Ontario, Canada. This session </span>will be available on Friday, October 18 from 12pm-1pm EST. There are a lot more sessions than just this opportunity.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Library 2.013 Worldwide Virtual Conference. The third annual global conversation about the future of libraries is scheduled for October 18-19, 2013. The conference will once again be held entirely online around the clock in multiple languages
and time zones. Everyone is invited to participate in this <b>FREE</b> forum designed to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among information professionals worldwide.<br>
<br>
To be kept informed of the latest conference news and updates, please join the Library 2.0 network. You do not need to join this network to attend, but doing so will also allow you to correspond with the presenters and other members, and to comment on sessions
and discussions.<br>
<br>
NEW for 2013! The Library 2.013 conference will feature two additional themed conference strands: 1) Doctoral Student Research and 2) Library and Information Center “Tours.” We encourage doctoral students to take advantage of this exciting opportunity to present
their research and hone their online presentation skills. We also heard that many of you want to “see” libraries from around the globe. Presenters will take conference attendees on virtual tours of their libraries or information centers. We will post more
information soon on the format of these tours.<br>
<br>
Altogether, there will be eight conference strands covering a wide variety of timely topics, such as, MOOCs, e-books, maker spaces, mobile services, embedded librarians, green libraries, and more! Presenters may also submit presentations that cover LIS-related
topics not included in the themed strands. The Library 2.013 Worldwide Virtual Conference is a great opportunity for professional development and networking. View the Conference Strands. (As a reminder, recordings of the Library 2.012 Worldwide Virtual Conference
presentations are still available for viewing at your convenience.)<br>
