Library 2.0 Open Data Conference

Announcing the Library 2.019 mini-conference on "Open Data" which will be held online (and for free) on Wednesday, June 5th, from 12:00 – 3:00 pm US-Pacific Daylight Time. See conference details.

Local, state and federal governments are releasing data - the public's data - in new ways. Property maps, 311 data, school quality information and census statistics - all of these are examples of open data that give people the tools they need to learn and advocate for their causes. This web conference will explore how librarians are using open data, teaching others about it, and even creating it. You’ll learn about tools you can implement in your own library and hear stories from libraries that have partnered with their local and state governments. Armed with practical tools and experiences, you’ll be ready to start diving into open data to help your library and community!

This is a free event, being held live online and also recorded.
