The 33rd Annual Charleston Conference is being held Wednesday, November 6 through Saturday, November 9, 2013 in historic Charleston, South Carolina.
The informal and friendly atmosphere of the conference continues to be an essential event for ProQuest subject matter experts to mingle and have conversations with librarians and publishers about issues that are important to all of them. While the tone is casual, the discussions are centered on answering significant questions that plague the information industry.
“Too Much is Not Enough” is the Charleston Conference theme this year, and keeping with the theme, ProQuest is offering several opportunities to hear our experts speak about hot topics (such as finding reliable content among open access, and the self-publishing phenomenon). ProQuest subject matter experts are also participating on panels with librarians who will be sharing their experiences with our services.
