Jonathan,
Canada plays host to the Access conference every year.
http://www.access20
06.uottawa.ca/
This year's is in the nation's capital, Ottawa, Ontario and
is coming
up soon, October 11 to 14.
A quote:
"The Access Conference is the pre-eminent Canadian
library technology
conference and typically attracts librarians and information
technology professionals from all over Canada, and in recent
years the
United States and even Europe."
– Randy Reichardt, STLQ
and a blurb:
The conference is an eclectic group of technically savvy
people who
get together every year to share fresh challenges, projects
and
solutions related to advances in information and library
communities.
It is a single stream conference with limited attendance,
which
provides ample opportunity to meet and exchange ideas.
Common touchstones at the conference include:
* customized web applications and search interfaces
* open source software
* national and provincial consortiae initiatives
* information policy
* digital media
* library catalogue innovations
* end user searching behaviours
* metadata
I always think of Access as one conference I can go to and
be
guaranteed to say, "Wow, I didn't know anyone was doing
that!"
