The
10th annual WebWise Conference on Libraries and Museums
in the Digital Age was held in Washington, DC, February
25-27, 2009. IMLS partnered with The Wolfsonian-Florida
International University and the John D. and Catherine
T. MacArthur Foundation to host this year’s signature
event. The theme of the 2009 conference was “Digital
Debates.” Sessions featured library and museum
leaders as well as experts outside of the cultural heritage
community who stimulated conversation and reflected
on the challenges posed by emerging technologies and their
effects on the roles that libraries and museums will play
in the next decade. The conference opened with a half-day
pre-conference workshop on the afternoon of February 25,
followed by the opening reception. The main conference
began on February 26 and concluded at noon on February
27. The conference was held at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol
Hill. For other conference information,
