This year, KLA is proud to present R. DAVID LANKES of Syracuse University as our Opening Keynote speaker. David most recently wowed the crowd at the ALA Midwinter meeting in Dallas. Check out this two-minute video, where you get a sense of his energy and intelligence.
He is a tremendously articulate spokesman for library transformation and the positive future of libraries. David is the author of THE ATLAS OF NEW LIBRARIANSHIP. You won’t want to miss him in person at KLA Conference 2012!
If that weren’t enough, CORY DOCTOROW is coming to Kansas for a one-day-only special engagement!
