The BIGWIG Showcase covers current <strong>and</strong> emerging<br />

topics related to social software, emerging<br />

technology <strong>and</strong> their application in libraries. It<br />

aims to mix up the traditional presentation format<br />

by allowing presenters to post their talks online<br />

before the conference, then during the showcase<br />

provide only a brief overview so that most time<br />

can be spent engaging participants in small group<br />

discussions on each topic. Please join us, <strong>and</strong> bring<br />

your own insights!<br />
