This camp is participant driven and meant to attract instructional librarians, IT teams, gov doc librarians, ref desk staff, systems and catalogue department personnel,social media support types, LIS students and others.   We are encouraging libraries to put team members together around this event and topic to build localized networks of library people who can support each other and the public around the developments in open government data, library data online, proprietary resources in mix with open educational and other sources.
