Time is Running Out to Submit a Proposal to Speak at our September Online Conference: "Open Source Software and Tools for the Library and Archive"

Have you made the move to integrate open source software? If so, we want to hear about it and share it with others during our Thursday, September 17 online conference.

Amigos is looking for presenters for "Open Source Software and Tools for the Library and Archive." We want to share your success stories concerning open source software or tools used in a recent or current project.

We encourage a wide variety of projects (content or institutional repositories, integrated library systems, public-facing websites, etc.) that have utilized open source tools. Examples could include Omeka, WordPress, Koha, Audacity, Drupal, ArchivesSpace, Ushahidi, or self-created or modified software.

If you can speak on one of these topics or have another idea in mind, please submit your proposal by July 20. Don't worry if you've never presented online. It’s easy; we are happy to train you, and will provide technical support during your presentation.

For more information about this conference, contact Carmen Cowick, cowick@amigos.org or 800-843-8482, ext. 2844.
