CIL2016Library Labs: Research, Innovation & Imagination

I’m very excited about the next year’s Computers in Libraries 2016, March 8-10 in Washington DC.  First, #CILDC is 31 years strong!  And still highlighting innovative technology and library practices, sharing leading-edge information services and community engagement strategies as well as looking at the impact these services and practices have on their communities.

Many organizations have innovation labs, incubating spaces, and ways to stimulate imagination and support research. Our theme for Computers in Libraries 2016, Library Labs: Research, Innovation, & Imagination, aims to do the following:
• Highlight library research that translates into useful strategies and practices for libraries.
• Share new and exciting projects from information industry labs.
• Feature innovative services and libraries.
• Stretch our imagination with possible areas for further library research and testing.
