January 22, 2008:  ECIS is permitting us to take registrations for the pre-conference workshops from participants who are not registered for the main conference. This is because the main conference is full.  It is also a one-off permit which will not set precedent for other ECIS conferences, nor for future librarians' conferences.

The number of available places at each of the pre-conference workshops is limited;  places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Ross Todd workshop: the cost is €uro 120.00 to those not registered for the main conference.  Download this form and email it as instructed.  Places are limited.

For the Follett Destiny Library Manager Training and the Softlink Alice and Oliver User-Group meetings, please (1) download this form if you want to book room at the conference hotel / overflow hotel
AND (2) register for the workshop/ meeting directly with the sponsoring company.  Further details below (Softlink / Follett Destiny).

Ross Todd has long been concerned with information literacy and with how children learn, how they change information into knowledge.  He is also key in promoting evidence-based practice as demonstration of the power and the impact of libraries and librarians.  He was co-leader of the team conducting the Ohio Study which has been well publicised and well received; see, for instance, the School Library Journal articles 13,000 Kids Can't Be Wrong and Ross to the Rescue!.

Todd has a wicked sense of humour and is an extremely popular workshop leader and conference presenter.  More than two hundred librarians turned up at a recent full-day workshop he gave in Sydney!  We are honoured that he is presenting the keynote address at our fifth triennial conference.
