The LearningTimes Library Online Conference (LTLOC) responds to the pressing need for high quality professional development and community building within the vast information service field. LTLOC 2003 will take place over 5 days in October (20 - 24), and is the first completely online forum to address in depth the philosophical, intellectual, and practical issues in today’s libraries, historical societies, archives, and museums.

Thought leaders and practitioners will convene within a LearningTimes Online Conference Community, equipped with the latest in web based communications tools. Together, participants will address topics ranging from growing fiscal restraints to the future of information service. Activities will include live collaborative webcasts, voice and text discussion boards and interactive chat sessions.

LTLOC 2003 will also feature three keynote addresses, dozens of workshops, and pre-conference activities devoted to the day-to-day management of employees during the miasma that is the economy and world events. The conference will conclude with the LTLOC 2003 Awards presented to colleagues who demonstrate innovation in information service.
