SUMMARY:Sync or Sink: Opportunities for libraries in the digital age [Event
  Ref. No. TG3/SOS]
DESCRIPTION:Libraries are often criticised as being irrelevant in the digit
 al age.  However\, librarians have frequently been on the cutting edge of 
 developments\, creating new and exciting ways to share collections that wo
 uld otherwise remain out of the view of the general public. Digitisation p
 rovides many opportunities for libraries to transform their services and b
 ring them into the 21st century.\n\nThis half-day session aims to provide 
 an insight into those opportunities. As well as looking at the practical a
 spects of putting a digital collection together\, there will be the chance
  to hear about two projects that demonstrate how libraries can continue to
  innovate in the digital future.\n\nProgramme:\n1.00-1.30: Arrival and reg
