Library 2.015: An international conference for an interconnected profession

On October 20, thousands of information professionals around the world came together -- without leaving their home countries. Together the authors had a global conversation about the future of libraries at the fifth annual Library 2.0 World-wide Virtual Conference, a unique opportunity to learn from colleagues around the globe, and a celebration of librarianship in all its forms. As in previous years, the fifth annual Library 2.0 conference was held entirely online, in multiple languages and across time zones, at no charge to participants. Some attendees chose to join Library 2.015 for just one or two sessions, while others stayed with them for the full day. Still more are absorbing the material through archived recordings, which are available anytime, from anywhere.
