We welcome proposals related to all types of libraries: public, school, academic, government, special, and corporate. Proposals on any aspect of library and information technology are solicited.
The Forum Committee is especially interested in presentations highlighting projects that are experimental or involve risk-taking.
Possible ideas for topics might include:
? Dynamics of Data

? Geolocation
? Data integration
? The Semantic Web
? Preservation of privacy and social data
? Linking data for personal growth, for enterprise and commerce

? Public data vs. private data
? Data on the move
? Authentication, verification, validity
? Data economics
? Metadata and tagging
? Digital Forensics
? Data Curation
? Data discovery tools
? Effective or creative use of data display tools
Presentations must have a technological focus and pertain to libraries. Presentations that incorporate audience participation are encouraged. Sessions can be full-day pre-conferences, concurrent sessions (50 minutes), or poster sessions. The format of the presentations may include single- or multi-speaker formats, panel discussions, moderated discussions, case studies and/or demonstrations of projects.
