Join your colleagues on Friday, November 11 for Library Journal's second Future of the Academic Library Symposium at Temple University in Philadelphia to engage in conversation with a stellar gathering of academic librarians who will share their ideas and solutions—and how they are leading within their organizations—to create dynamic, future-proof academic libraries. We will address the multiple gaps between where we are and where need to be to get to our preferred future and establish the means to transcend differences and bridge these gaps.

Is there any chance that this could be webcast so those of us on the West coast could benefit from it?

And those of us in the Midwest wonder, too, about a webcast?

Hi Joel and Joan -- we don't have the ability to live-stream the event live, but we're hoping to record as much of it as possible and post the videos later on so that folks who can't travel to Philadelphia can see the program as well. Masood, I'm afraid we can't arrange for visas for this event. Thanks all for your interest.
