In one week the second Bibcamp will take place in Stuttgart. The ca. 50 participants will create a programme of their own. Just consult the social forum of the Bibcamp (in German) to see members and themes.

German Librarians and Libraries are twittering
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.

When Librarians Rule the World
At the end of february, Mary Ellen Bates gave a workshop for the Initiative Fortbildung in Berlin. Bates provides business research to business professionals, and consulting and training services to the information industry and gives several high quality resources about online research at her homepage Bates Info, especially the famous newsletter “Tip of the Month”. She is one of those colleagues that are mentioned at the Internet Librarian Hall of Fame (archived webpage, the Bates-entrance is broken, but can be found here).
If you are interested in the program of the workshop in Berlin, you will find it as a PDF document at the homepage of Initiative Fortbildung. I’ve heard from participants, that the focus of the workshop was more research with special search engines, less the aspect of library 2.0.
