Please come to the “ALA Unconference” where I will be leading a broad discussion on Friday, July 10th from 11:10-12:00 on the library’s role in current & emerging trends of civic engagement, transparency, preservation and access to Government information. The supporting materials and presentation will be linked in the Unconference wiki.
