I wanted to know what was out there, how much they cost, what they were about, and more. When I was first began working in an academic library, I heard a lot of acronyms thrown out during conference season. I wrote it all off as noise, until I was given permission to attend one myself. I didn?t know where to begin, so I asked my colleagues. One suggested ALA, another LOEX of the West, another said keep it local and go to SEFLIN. I hurried back to my computer and started to Google. I quickly realized I knew nothing and that there was way more out there than just the ALA conference. I Googled ?library conferences? expecting that someone had created a website that listed them all, and although I did find a few, none really was as comprehensive as I expected. I thought maybe I should make my own website to list all the conferences and then, after contemplating it for a year, I finally finished the beta version of my vision.<\/p>\n<p>Although the website is still in its infancy, the feedback so far has been positive. The website will feature a user-friendly interface with clickable links to conference websites. Also, a clickable map, a sortable table of result, and a form to submit new conferences will all be prominent features of the completed website. I believe for this website to be a truly comprehensive list of library conferences, I will need the input of as many people as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage all of you reading this to <a href=\"http:\/\/libconferences.com\/libconferences.com\">submit a conference<\/a>, send me feedback, or send an <a href=\"adeluca@fau.edu\">email <\/a>with a new feature you would like to see!<\/p>\n<p>Post written by A.
