The last couple of months have been quite busy as I’ve worked on finalising the program for the joint International Association of School Librarianship / School Library Association of Queensland conference to be held in Brisbane at the end of this month. Actually, only 7 days to go before I go to my first meeting prior to the commencement of the conference.

All together there will be 3 pre-conference workshops, 3 school library & author tours, 4 keynote speakers, 54 concurrent sessions, 22 trade presentations, 40 trade exhibitors, 6 poster sessions, author breakfast, conference dinner, awards ceremony…..You can check out the program at http://www.iasl-online.org/events/conf/2010/program.htm

Now, if you didn’t get to register, don’t worry.  I’ve worked hard to make sure we use some social media tools so you can check what is happening at the conference.

So, here are the starters:
Follow the conference on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/slaqiasl2010 or http://twitter.com/IASLonline (We will be using the hashtag #slaqiasl2010)
Information will be posted to http://iaslonline.ning.com/
Pics will be uploaded to http://www.flickr.com/photos/iaslonline/
And..I’m still working with a colleague to get a ‘daily paper’ up and running.  We will be using http://paper.li/ as our ‘base’.
I will let you know the web address once we have this up and running.

And there is more….If you have had a look at the program, then each session that is held in room M4 (the main plenary room) will be vodcast.  Sorry, it won’t be live streaming, but each session will be uploaded after the event.  Again, once I know the web address for this I will make sure you get to hear about it too.

Enough from me right now as I still have a few papers that I need to edit for the final conference proceedings.  Need to finish this job as I desperately need to get the master file off for the ‘big burn’ so delegates will be delighted to find their copy in their satchel.

Looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues soon.
