The HigherEdBlogCon 2006 is an online conference that is being held April 3-28, 2006 - “Transforming academic communities with new tools of the social web.” This innovative conference was planning by participants from 30 north american institutions using wiki social software. The presenters use social software to connect with other presenters, librarians, educators, researchers and students. Every kind of social software is in the mix: blogs, wikis, RSS, podcasting… you name it! Participation is encouraged by asking virtual conferencers to post comments to the presentations, discuss them in their own blogs and to submit reviews for future publications.

As a professional library assistant and social learning fanatic I’m keenly interested in this weeks topic:The Library and Info Resources Week. It’s right up my alley and I plan on writing a review once I have finished the conference. UBC’s Brian Lamb offers some screen shots of the conference on his blog.
