Participate and Present! Call for Proposals - Reimagining the ILS
Title: Reimagining the ILS
When: September 15, 2016
Where: Online
Amigos Members: Admission is free!
Share your ideas about the relevance of the ILS in an age when internet search engines are the first choice of information seekers by presenting at the Amigos online conference "Reimagining the ILS".
The integrated library system is the hub of a library’s technical infrastructure and the focus of the next Amigos conference. As the central point of access for users to find items relevant to their research and for staff managing the library’s collections it’s important to examine the current state of the art in ILS technology and glimpse into its future.
Amigos is now accepting presentation proposals for this conference. Suggested topic areas include:
- Libraries’ innovative uses of ILS functionality
- The ILS, linked data and new metadata standards
- ILS role in exposing metadata to search-engine queries
- The ILS in the Cloud
- Vendor presentations on future developments in ILS technology
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, and we are happy to train you and will provide technical support during your presentation.
For more information about this conference, contact Bill Walker, walker@amigos.org or 800-843-8482, ext. 2853.
