Sponsored by the Library Staff Development Committee of the Greater Bay Area
 
In September 2005, the Library Staff Development Committee of the Greater Bay Area hosted a day-long forum on the future of libraries that was attended by over 200 people. The morning session of last year's forum can be viewed online at http://rurallibraries.org/webcasts/09-23-05/.

Now, one year later, we are following up with this practical, implementation-oriented mini-conference. Today's speakers are working librarians who will discuss innovative models that they have developed and implemented at their own libraries.
