VALA2010 Programme - VALA - Libraries / Technology and the Future //

The VALA2010 15th Biennial Conference and Exhibition was held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Melbourne, Australia from 9 – 11 February 2010. The theme for this conference was Connections.Content.Conversations.

Recognising that information technology is ultimately there for the end user, the conference was opened with a short and humorous video clip of a young digital native library user called Abbey.

The following programme was presented at VALA2010. Follow the links to view the abstracts, papers, podcasts and other associated material. You can also browse the VALA2010 online Conference Proceedings. See also the archived VALA2010 conference web site.
