The Internet Librarian International (ILI) advance program is now available on the conference website. ILI will feature two keynotes: ”What Would Socrates Say?” by Robert Rowland Smith, and “Getting Real about Social Media”, by Hazel Hall. A closing panel will discuss “Library Futures: Views and Visions for the Future of Libraries and Information Professionals”. This will be the 12th ILI, and besides the keynotes, a full lineup of speakers from UK and other international organizations will appear.

IFLA has added an interactive news and updating feature to its conference website. So far, the site features a Twitter stream, interactive map of the venue, and list of bloggers at the conference (instructions for listing your blog are on the Bloggers page). According to the site, “This website will support content that is generated by IFLA reporters, conference speakers, and you!”
For those (like me!) who will not be attending the IFLA conference in person, this will be a great way to attend virtually. Thanks to the IFLA staff for making these facilities available.
