In April of this year, the Ann Arbor District Library had a Library Camp unconference. In an unconference, the organizers provide meeting space, transportation, writing materials and general themes and the participants self-organize to discuss what they’re interested in within those constraints on a day-by-day basis.
It was so popular, the Darien Public Library in Darien, Connecticut held a Library Camp East in late September (which I found out about after the fact. Grr.).
Surely corporate librarians are as interested in technology as our academic and public brethren?
Would there be interest in organizing a Library Camp East Mid-Atlantic in the New York City metro area for 2007, for academic, corporate and public librarians?
If so, comment below and/or e-mail the Corporate Librarian at box [underscore] nine [at] ix [dot] netcom [dot] com.
You can see some sample agendas here and here.
UPDATE: Alan Gray of the Darien Public Library has e-mailed me that they’re almost certainly going to be organizing a Library Camp East for 2007. Therefore, I’ve retitled and edited the post accordingly - in all likelihood, I wouldn’t be planning this for before March 2007 at the earliest.
