Brown University Library has been selected to host Code4Lib 2009. Code4Lib is a vibrant community for sharing ideas about programming and technology in libraries. The Code4Lib conference, held in February, serves as a counterpoint to Canada’s Access conference, held in October. Code4Lib is a single track conference that was capped at 200 this year and filled up almost immediately. Members of the Code4Lib community vote on conference program presentations and on proposals to serve as host. More information: http://code4lib.org/ Comments/Questions: libweb@brown.edu -
