ILLiad Conference, Virginia Beach

I attended this year’s ILLiad International conference in Virginia Beach from March 23 till 25. In the conference, I had a chance to communicate with Atlas support staff directly and sharing difference experience and knowledge from other libraries, as well as getting updates from Atlas Systems.
March 23, 2011 is preconference session. The whole day from 9am to 5pm topic is DIY ILLiad Tune-up where the Atlas staff was showing tune up the ILLiand from database to client, and to functions.
