Call for Speakers: LITA/ALCTS Library Code Year IG meeting at ALA 2012 Annual

The LITA/ALCTS Library Code Year IG will be having our first meeting at ALA Annual and we need your help. We are looking for speakers to give lightening talks:

Call for Speakers

What strategies, or roadblocks, have you found in learning to code? How have you used programming to improve library service models or workflows?

The Library Code Year Interest Group seeks speakers for lightning talks (5 minutes) on any aspect of coding and libraries, including projects you have completed, your experience learning to code or thoughts on projects you would like to see in the future.  Speakers at all levels of coding skill and from all types of library backgrounds are invited to participate.

Our inaugural meeting will be Saturday, June 23, 1:30-3:30pm at the Doubletree Suites (Tuscany AB). You can find it on the ALA Scheduler at http://ala12.scheduler.ala.org/node/651

Feel free to contact me with any questions at carli.spina@gmail.com or post your thoughts on our Connect page: http://connect.ala.org/node/167971

Even if you don't want to give a talk, I hope to see you there! 

Thank you,
Carli
