Make your library smarter with inspiration from EMEARC18
Presenters, attendees and guests at the EMEA Regional Council Meeting 2018 in Edinburgh, Scotland, shared ideas, stories, examples, and challenges that helped us all better define what makes for a smarter library. Whether you couldn’t attend—or were there and want to see all the member sessions—take a look at the presentations and photos below. There was a lot of “smart” in the room, and we hope you can take advantage of what we learnt for use at your library.
