Emerging technologies and evolving user behaviour keeps changing the rules of 
the game for academic libraries. Emerging technologies include new ways of 
using existing technologies and totally new, disruptive technologies. Examples 
include:
- Semantic web / linked open data
- Social media
- Augmented reality
- Mobile technologies
- Visualisation
- etc
 
emtacl12  is an international conference for academic librarians, information 
professionals, academic staff, students, library system developers and 
suppliers, among others. The aim is to provide answers to the following 
questions: What can academic libraries do to address change? How can we 
adapt? Which technologies can/should/must we use/create? The conference is 
hosted by NTNU University Library, the Library of the Norwegian university of 
science and technology in Trondheim, Norway.
The programme committee invites original presentations and posters taking one 
or more of the following perspectives as a point of departure:
- Linked open data and other semantic web applications in the library
- New literacies
- Supporting research
- Organizational change within the library
- Analysis of user behaviour and use of statistics
- New services/old services in new clothes
- Other relevant perspectives on emerging technologies

Conference dates: 1-3 October 2012
