Sorry for the late notice, but all are welcome at Library 2.0 Camp Boston this Saturday, July 28th, from 10-4pm in the McKim Conference Room of the Boston Public Library (map).
A group of area librarians will be gathering to talk about new media and libraries. The point is really to meet each other, share our stuff, and answer the question: What are you doing in your library…?
It’ll be unconference style, so very relaxed and everyone can participate as much or as little as you feel appropriate. For more information, check out http://libcamp.pbwiki.com/.

A coworker just made me aware of MashupCamp 2007, being held at MIT on Jan 17-18. I’ve been to a few unconferences before, and enjoy the format, so I might attend for that reason alone.
I am interested in mashups, but am probably not as hard-core as the other attendees will be. I’m sure there are ways to make our library catalog more useful by combining it with tools like Baker & Taylor, Amazon, Delicious Library, LibraryThing, Library Elf, and more, if I just had the time to sit and think and experiment. We’ll see.
Another nice feature of MashupCamp 2007 is Mashup University, which is “specifically geared towards hands-on training whereby new and experienced mashup developers can get classroom style instruction on how to build mashups.” Now that’s for me.
