David Shumaker to kick off February 11 Amigos Online Conference

Join us February 11, 2016, for the next Amigos Online Conference, "Going Out of Bounds with Reference Services." During this conference, we will be hearing from librarians across the country regarding innovative reference outreach, programming and integration with other departments in the library.

Kicking off the conference, David Shumaker will deliver the keynote address "The New Rules of Library Services." Shumaker is Clinical Associate Professor of Library and Information Science at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. His 2012 book, The Embedded Librarian: Innovative Strategies for Taking Knowledge Where It's Needed, was termed "a must read for every librarian" by Maureen Sullivan, immediate past president of the American Library Association and past president of ACRL and LLAMA. In his keynote, he will outline the nature of the changes taking place and share some ideas about what we'll need to include in the new rules for the next era of library services. Check out Shumaker’s blog, The Embedded Librarian, for more information on this leading thinker in the reference community.

Registration is coming soon, so please keep an eye on the conference page for the session titles, speakers and pricing.
