LearningTimes, will continue the dialog about mobile technologies and libraries 
with a 2-day online conference scheduled for February 23 and 24, 2011,  and is 
now accepting registrations at http://www.handheldlibrarian.org.   The program 
will include a series of  wonderful keynote and featured speakers, a collection 
of available resources, discussion boards, and access to the recording of all 
live events for six months  after the conference.  More people than ever are
