What is the STELLA Unconference?

This meeting is for any librarian interested in scientific, technical and engineering resources. The acronym stands for Science, Technology & Engineering Library Leaders in Action!

When is the unconference? 

At the moment, we are planning on hosting the meeting on January 8th and 9th (Friday-Saturday), 2010 at the University of Denver in the Driscoll Center.

Where is the unconference? 

It will take place at the University of Denver in the Driscoll Center.  See the Unconference Location page for more info.

Would you like regular updates? 

The new discussion list is here.  Go ahead and add your name even if you can't attend.  This way, you can be notified of the presentations, discussion topics, etc.

Please add your name to the attendee list.

Right now, there are about 60+ people from all over the United States who are interested in attending.  The conference facility can hold 175 people, give or take.

Would you like to make a cool looking logo?  Something having to do with this?

This is an unconference, AND in the true unconference spirit, there will be no (or very little) conference fees [unlike some other library-based unconferences]. If you can get to Denver by plane, train, ferry or foot, then you can attend the unconference. Some of the background to the idea for STELLA can be found here.

I also recently learned that Walt Crawford has some good overviews of the Library Camp idea here:

The Unconference is co-sponsored by the Library Society of the World. "You are already member -- you just don't know it yet."
