Congres Update Digitale Bibliotheek march 25, 2010

The Congress Update Digitale Library on march 25th in Rotterdam was presented by the magazine Digitale Bibliotheek in corporation with Essentials. A day filled with (inter)national speakers about, of course, digital library.
My library, bibliotheek Waterweg, was nominated for the Award Digitale Bibliotheek 2010, so I attended the congress. I wasn't able to be there whole day, but had the occasion of following some really interesting presentations. I mention two of them:
Helene Blowers 
she talked about 'reality check 2.010: 5 trends shaping libraries'

Reality Check 2010: 5 Trands Shaping Libraries

View more presentations from hblowers.
nice quote of Helene: as a library 'you are what you share!'

The other presentation I'd like to mention was from John Blyberg
he talked about SOPAC: add the S of social  to OPAC( = Online Public Access Catalog)

SOPAC 2.0 and the Future of Social OPACS

As John mentioned: its all about User Experience
Finally at the end of the day the winner of the Award Digital Library was announced. And the winner was.....
