Digital Conference: Libraries Rewired
A new conference from CILIP is just round the corner, giving delegates an opportunity to expand their digital skills and knowledge in a hands- on setting. Rob Green looks at what to expect for Libraries Rewired and talks to Dave Rowe about his session on exlpoiting library data.
LIBRARIES Rewired is CILIP’s flag- ship conference for all things digital, helping information professionals from all sectors to discover more about disruptive technologies and their impact.
The conference has a hands-on feel and delegates will have plenty of opportunity to test out the latest tech, with expert advice to coach them through opportunities and how to avoid potential pitfalls. The aim is to deliv- er an event that will open doors to new ways of working, new skills that put information services at the heart of the latest technologi- cal wave.

Libraries Rewired is about changing that for any digitally curious information professional who wants to learn more about how they can use technology and how it can improve their services.
