ACRL Virtual Conference Continues to Grow Since 2005, ACRL has offered a Virtual Conference as a complement to the biennial National Conference. Past Virtual Conferences have provided access to discussion groups, presentation materials, and webcasts of selected ACRL programs, both in order to enhance the conference experience for those on site, and to provide an important professional development opportunity to those unable to travel to the conference site. This year, the Virtual Conference is bigger and better than ever! Social Networking The Virtual Conference will maintain a presence on a number of social networking sites, including Facebook. Additional information on ACRL Seattle social networking opportunities will be posted to this page as they become available. Podcasts The Virtual Conference has already begun! Beginning in fall 2008, ACRL has posted podcasts highlighting key speakers and innovations associated with the ACRL 14th National Conference. Get a taste of the National Conference at the ACRL Insider, and watch for future podcasts leading up to the start of the Seattle conference. Blog The Seattle conference will be blogged! Keep up to date on the activities and pulse of the live conference, even if you aren’t in Seattle! The Main Event For the first time, the Virtual Conference will include Dynamic Screen Captures- PowerPoint presentations synced with real-time audio from every contributed paper and panel session presented in Seattle. These screen captures, more than 80 total, will be available online for all online-only and face-to-face participants a few days after the Seattle conference. Virtual Conference participants will be able to see and hear every Seattle paper and panel program (and face-to-face conference participants will no longer have to regret the programs they missed because there was so much going on at the same time!). This new feature gives you more for your money and provides an opportunity to revisit sessions all year long. Live Webcasts And, if that’s not enough, the Virtual Conference will include a number of live webcasts - programs accepted exclusively for presentation at the Virtual Conference. Another first for 2009, these Virtual Conference exclusives will bring librarians together with the virtual community from around the United States to interact in real time with Virtual Conference participants. The live webcasts will be offered on Friday, March 13, and Saturday, March 14, 2009. Second Life Another first for 2009 - Join us in Second Life the Friday and Saturday afternoons of the conference! The Virtual Conference will include Second Life orientations and inworld tours of four unique libraries and institutions. These events will take place immediately after the live Webcasts. Video Features The Virtual Conference will also feature video-recordings of Naomi Klein’s Opening Keynote Session and Robin Chase’s Invited Green Presentation.
