I Really Don’t Know

Free Speech

Well, several free speeches actually. At least they are if you register and come to Birmingham… Insight – A Library Conference for All Insight is a free two day conference for anyone interested and involved in the future of libraries. Being UK-based we’ve set it close to our home in Birmingham.

The programme has some great names, headed up with a keynote by Euan Semple. Other include:

• Tony Hey, Microsoft – eResearch and Digital Scholarship
• Nicole Harris Senior Services Transition Manager, JISC
• Richard Cameron CiteULike
• Dave Pattern University of Huddersfield
• David Orrell Eduserv
• Marshall Breeding Vanderbilt University, USA
• Roy Clare, CBE, Chief Executive of the MLA
• Frances Hendrix and a panel of future librarians
• David Lightfoot Lancashire Libraries
• Tim Coates Author and Bookseller
• Tony Durcan President, Society of Chief Librarians
• Zoinul Abidin Idea Store Manager, Tower Hamlets
• John Dolan Head of Library Policy at the MLA

Doing great stuff like this is why so many of us are at Talis. This is going to be a great conference.
