As the Metropolitan Campus Library staff are due to transition across to CQUniversity Library in early March, the conference is providing an opportunity to discuss a range of transition issues as well as professional development in areas of the social dimensions of learning, e-research, and technology.

The Conference has a social networking theme and is using Twitter as the communication medium for the week.

Library Director Graham Black said the Conference is "a great opportunity for us to meet face to face, keep up to date with a range of library and information issues and develop our social networking technology skills".
