The Library Debate: What are libraries for?

Posted by Brian Kelly on September 22nd, 2010

Had a chat yesterday with Joanne Alcock of Evidence Base (at Birmingham City University) who was in Bath meeting up with some UKOLN staff. Her primary professional interests lie in social media (e.g. web 2.0) and emerging technologies; her blog is Joeyanne Libraryanne.

She mentioned the CILIP West Midlands and Birmingham Salon joint event The Library Debate: What are libraries for? taking place on this evening (22 Sept. 2010). The principle speakers are Brian Gambles, Assistant Director, Culture at Brimingham City Council and local author and keen libary user, Andy Killeen. If you’re not able to get there, you could follow tweets on the night (#libdebate) [not #libdeb as I first posted – apologies and thanks to Joanne for spotting the error) or listen to the podcast after the event by going to the Birmingham Salon blog.

    Thanks for the mention Ann :) Just a quick amendment (apologies for the confusion), the tweets are using the hashtag #libdebate
