The LITA Program Planning Committee is now accepting proposals for the
2012 Annual American Library Association Conference. We're looking
for full day pre-conferences, and half day and two hour conference
presentations on use of, new ideas for, and technology trends in
libraries. Think about the technology success or failure you're recently
had, or the topic you think we haven't had covered and put together a
proposal.
When/Where is the Conference?
2012 Annual Conference, Anaheim, CA: June 21–26, 2012
What kind of topics are we looking for?
Anything relating to libraries and technology! (That narrows it down,
right?) A few ideas might include: Comparing two or three library tools
(LibGuides vs Google Pages), (Un)Successful Implementation of a New
Technology, From the Trenches of an ILS Migration, Technology for
Marketing, Marketing Technology, Managing Technology, Project
Management, How to Quickly Build a Web App that looks Decent, Managing
People and Technology, Supporting Continuing Ed for Technology, Video
Creation and Editing, Including/Leveraging Users, Tech Tools for Data
Management, etc etc etc. Please keep an eye on the LITA Listserv for a
poll for more ideas soon!

Do I have to be a member of ALA/LITA/an IG/a committee?
