THE NEW LIBRARY, THE NEW LIBRARIAN – explore the strategies, teams, skills, services and collaboration that global librarians are using to ensure they stay at the cutting edge
USERS, UX AND USAGE – understand how libraries are working with users to redesign services, spaces, and understand usage
CONTENT CREATIVITY – investigate how libraries are creating, curating, publishing and marketing digital collections, and how they are driving collaborative content creation
FIGHT THE FAKE, FIND THE FACTS – celebrate two librarian superpowers – advanced search techniques and nurturing information integrity – in a post-truth/multi-truth era
MARKETING THE LIBRARY – hear stories from librarians who are influencing use and expanding audiences, from the DJ librarian to the digital storyteller
NEW SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATIONS – understand how the scholarly communications landscape is changing, and what this means for libraries and info pros
Plus ILI EXTRA, a series of supplementary one-hour workshops and activities covering a wide range of specialised skills – from tech topics to personal development
