What is SpringyCamp?
SpringyCamp is our totally free virtual user conference where you get to hear how other libraries and institutions from around the world are using their Springshare tools in interesting and innovative ways. And this year we're doing our first-ever day dedicated to Public Libraries! At SpringyCamp Public Libraries, you can:
- Meet library professionals from a variety of backgrounds and institutions and learn from their real-world experiences.
- View sneak peeks of new Springy tools and features including our upcoming LibMaps tool.
- Hear how Springshare integrates with our Partner Vendors like Bywater and Brodart.
- Chat with colleagues worldwide and join discussions and networking in the Springshare Lounge.
