Mobile Applications Pavilion Do you need “An app for that”? Find the latest mobile apps and technology to manage your library, improve service to patrons and help readers of all ages. Small Press/Product Area The Small Press/Small Product area is often where new and independent presses launch their newest titles. This area also serves as a jumping off point where new vendors introduce themselves to the library community. Spanish Publishers Pavilion This pavilion has been created for librarians who requested a convenient way to reach both new and established Spanish publishers. Technology/Library 2.0 Pavilion The Technology/Library 2.0 Pavilion features the latest products and service designed to increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and creativity of today’s librarians. University Press Pavilion The University Press Pavilion serves as a meeting point for a diverse number of university and research presses from a variety of genres. Zine Pavilion Zines offer a unique way for libraries to expand their print connections and connect with their communities in a time when so much of our work is going digital. Handmade publications that can cover any subject, many zines represent perspectives rarely covered in other print media. Their celebration of print culture may seem anachronistic, but zines offer a range of programming opportunities for youth and adults alike. This pavilion in the exhibits will include Zine creators, librarians who manage zine collections and a display of topical zines which will be raffled off to a library at the close of the exhibits. Save time in your schedule to visit these exciting and educational areas of the exhibit floor. The ERT Christopher J. Hoy Scholarship Auction The Christopher J.
