The KLAS Users' Conference is a gathering of libary staff and adminstrators who use KLAS. Traditionally the conference is held in March or April. The first official KLAS Users' Conference was held in 1997 at Keystone's offices in Raleigh, NC. In the first few years, the location alternated between a KLAS library and Keystone. Since 2006, KLAS libaries have hosted most KLAS conferences with the occasional return to Raleigh.
The KLAS Users' Group approved a conference format change in 2006 that created a three-day Tuesday-Thursday schedule. Keystone staff and members of the KLAS Users' Community cover topics ranging from improving circulation, new releases in KLAS, handling digital media, outreach and more in a variety of formats including general and breakout sessions. Break-out sessions are designed to appeal to a variety of learning styles with formats such as birds-of-a-feather, hands-on, and seminar classes.
The conference also offers ample networking such as morning and afternoon breaks and the Tuesday evening Welcome Reception hosted by Keystone Systems.
The 2011 KLAS Users' Conference will be in Raleigh, NC at Keystone's offices April 12-14. We look forward to seeing you there!
