The use of Twitter, a well known microblogging service, spreads around the library 2.0 community in Germany. Several colleagues and libraries and even organizations are twittering about their work and leisure. So, if you are curious, what german librarians have to say in short, you can find an overview (still growing) at a page of LIS Wiki. Even a librarian association, the Berufsverband Information Bibliothek, has a twitter account.

Bibliothekartag 2008
The “Bibliothekartag” (= “Librarian’s Day”) is the central meeting of librarians in Germany. It’s the 97th Bibliothekartag from 3rd to 6th June 2008 in Mannheim (Palatinate, in the north of Baden-Württemberg). The preliminary program of the conference is now online. You find the panel discussions under “Programm” > “Fortbildungsveranstaltungen”; the workshops and performances of smaller library associations under “Programm” > “Arbeitssitzungen”.
