DALLAS, TX, July 19 - Amigos Library Services will present a one day online conference Digital Preservation: What's Now, What's Next on August 12. The conference will cover a variety of topics to include digital preservation of email and e-books as well as preservation of audio and video.

"I am very excited about our program," says Gina Minks, Imaging & Preservation Service Manager. "We have many presenters that are well known both in the Amigos region and nationally. It is going to be an opportunity to see presentations from people who normally are only at the large national conferences."

Are there other sessions that would be more interest catching??

Blood and Cassandra Gallegos

* Protect Future Access Now: Preserving E-Books and Other

Digitized Content presented by Amy Kirchhoff

In addition to these sessions, the conference includes Martin Halbert and Katherine Skinner's presentation about collaborative, community-owned approaches to both digital preservation and digital curation, as well as presentations from Jacob Nadal, UCLA; William LeFurgy , the Library of Congress; Tom Clareson, Lyrasis; and Liz Bishoff, The Bishoff Group.

LIBRARIES CROSSING BOUNDARIES: Bibliotecas Cruzando Fronteras is the
theme for the 2011 Texas Library Association Annual Conference, and we hope to see
all of you there! The goal for this year’s event is to unite and engage librarians from
all types of libraries and all areas of librarianship in communicating the value of libraries
through the strength of our stories.

We are so pleased to once again have the opportunity to meet in Austin – a center for
technology and civic engagement. The TLA conference will host around 8,000 of your friends
and colleagues between April 12 and 15, 2011. The conference affords countless opportunities
for networking and learning. With more than 200 sessions and events, the 2011 conference
offers attendees a national-caliber conference inside of Texas. And, of course, you will enjoy
access to the world’s third-largest library tradeshow.

This conference has been designed to offer high quality, diverse, and national-level
professional development and intellectual opportunities for attendees; position libraries
as powerful portals to new opportunities for clients; equip librarians and library workers
with tools to transform information into usable knowledge; and provide opportunities for
extending active participation through unit collaboration and interactive sessions.
