MCLS is pleased to announce that one month from today, October 4, 2013, 
Lisa Carlucci Thomas, 2010 Library Journal Mover and Shaker, 2009 ALA 
Emerging Leader and Director of the library and creative services firm 
Design Think Do, will present the keynote address at our annual meeting 
which will be held at the Marten House Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana. 
Viewing by streaming video will also be available for those who cannot 
travel to Indianapolis. Our theme for the day is Open Spaces, Open Data, 
Open Access: Transforming Today’s Libraries.

Our morning kick-off session begins at 10 AM with a keynote address from 
Carlucci Thomas titled “Open Spaces, Open Data, Open Access: Transforming 
Today’s Libraries”. Transformation requires trailblazing and tenacity. 
Transformative culture fosters engagement and strategic development, and 
changes libraries from the inside out. Creative partnerships promote 
reciprocal learning, enhance services, and spark opportunities; and 
entrepreneurial methods offer advantages for libraries evaluating and 
adapting current practices. From library places and programs, to online 
collections and communities, today’s libraries are breaking barriers and 
setting new standards.

Next will be a panel discussion featuring three mid-western public 
libraries which have developed innovative uses of their space. Orvella 
Fields from The Indianapolis Public Library will talk about their 
“Learning Curve”; a high-tech, high energy, hands-on information 
environment designed for children. Joining Ms. Fields will be Steve Teeri, 
Conductor at the Detroit Public Library’s “HYPE” Makerspace. The goal of 
HYPE is to build teens who are creative, innovative citizens who make, not 
just consume. Completing the panel will be CJ Lynce, Manager at the 
Cleveland Public Library’s “TechCentral”; an innovative technology and 
learning center which beyond computer in Linux, Mac and Windows PCs offers 
3D printing, Mycloud, a Tech Toybox and collaborative work areas where 
patrons can check-out-a-trainer to assist.

Following lunch, we will hear from Ted Fons, Executive Director, Data 
Services and WorldCat Quality Management at OCLC as he presents on the 
WorldShare Management Service. Following, David Lewis, Dean of the IUPUI 
University Library and Indiana University Assistant Vice President of 
Digital Scholarly Communications will speak on the Inevitability of Open 
Access. Mr. Lewis has written over 40 articles and book chapters on topics 
ranging from reference services and library management to scholarly 
communication.

The program will conclude with the MCLS business meeting.

The cost to attend is $75 for MCLS members attending in Indianapolis or 
online via streaming video. For more information on this program and to
