NELINET IT Conference 2009: Open Source in Your Library https://www.nelinet.net/eaccount/EventDetail.aspx?eventid=00000998(Still time to register!)
October 9, 2009 – Olin College, Needham, MA

NELINET (soon to be LYRASIS) is proud to present its 5th Annual IT Conference, “Open Source in Your Library.” This exciting event will show you how libraries are implementing open source products for a variety of uses and will expand your understanding of the advantages of using open source products in libraries. A fantastic group of open source innovators include:

Joe Lucia is the University Librarian and director of Falvey Memorial Library at Villanova University. His advocacy for open source led his library to develop VuFind, an open-source discovery layer for library catalogs.

Dan Scott, Systems Librarian for Laurentian University, barista, library geek, and open source dabbler. You may know him from such projects as PHP (PEAR's File_MARC package and PDO documentation), Apache Derby, and the Evergreen open-source ILS project.

Karen Coombs, Library Journal 2009 Mover and Shaker, trend spotter and Head of Web Services at the University of Houston Libraries, will discuss how her library is using Drupal for its intranet and for a pilot project involving digital library materials.

Conference Cost for Unlimited Members: $85
