I’m lucky enough to be speak­ing at next month’s Online Infor­ma­tion 2008 con­fer­ence in Lon­don, where I’ll be speak­ing about new media chan­nels for libraries (in other words, get­ting your con­tent out in front of users where they already are). I’m in the Brave New World for Libraries and Pub­lish­ers track on day one, but there are many ses­sions at this media con­fer­ence that should be of inter­est to librar­i­ans. I’m look­ing for­ward to see­ing ses­sions in the Order Out of Chaos: Cre­at­ing Struc­ture in Our Uni­verse and Infor­ma­tion Pro­fes­sion­als Sur­viv­ing and Thriv­ing in the New Age, among oth­ers. I’ll also be mod­er­at­ing the Knowl­edge Struc­tur­ing in a Seman­tic World ses­sion on day two.

The con­fer­ence orga­niz­ers have just posted a pod­cast inter­view with me, which is just one in a series with some of the speak­ers. They’ve orga­nized quite a line-up of pre­sen­ters, start­ing with con­fer­ence opener Clay Shirky (hear his inter­view here). If you’ve never heard Clay speak, I encour­age you to take advan­tage of this oppor­tu­nity. I guar­an­tee you won’t regret it.

Please feel free to sub­mit ques­tions ahead of time, and if you’re attend­ing, please intro­duce your­self. Also, I’m still look­ing for exam­ples of libraries tak­ing advan­tage of RSS to dis­play their con­tent on exter­nal sites. If you know of any, please leave me a com­ment here.
