What is LibraryCamp?
Librarycamp is a user generated unconference for people interested in libraries. Anyone can organise a librarycamp - they run across the UK.
At a librarycamp the participants lead the agenda – in fact, there isn’t an agenda until people make suggestions for what they’d like to talk about at the start of the day.
It’s free to attend and there are no keynotes speakers. It’s open to anyone: public/private/whatever sector and you don't have to work in a library.

Library camps largely adhere to the four principles of open space:
1. Whoever comes is the right people.2. Whatever happens is the only thing that
could have.3. Whenever it starts is the right time.4. When it's over, it's over.
In addition to these principles, there is one law of open space, known as the “Law of Two Feet.”

Law of Two Feet
Any time you're not contributing nor adding value--you are encouraged to use your two feet and find a place where you can. In other words, if it's not meaningful, and you're not doing your part to make it meaningful, move on.

Pros of choosing an unconference format?
• People formed more connections, and stronger ones, at this 40 person conference than we would have at a bigger industry event.
• It’s free to attend.• Unconferences require less top-down planning, as
participants form their own structure on the day.• Unconferences are a great way of promoting
inter-disciplinary integration – anyone can attend.• Attendees can create their own sessions and
focus on topics that interest them
