 The VALA2010 15th Biennial Conference and Exhibition was held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Melbourne, Australia from 9 - 11 February 2010. The theme for this conference was Connections.Content.Conversations.
Recognising that information technology is ultimately there for the end user, the conference was opened with a short and humorous video clip of a young digital native library user called Abbey.
