Can you help? British library history 2006-2010

I've been invited to write the chapter on 'library history' for the forthcoming British librarianship and information work 2006-2010, edited by John Bowman.

Obviously, I'm be scouring the literature myself to determine trends, significant publications, events of note, and suchlike.  But I would like to hear from others, too.  I am particularly keen to hear about:
  • conferences whose proceedings have not (yet) been published, and that I might otherwise miss
  • online projects, resources and databases that might not be mentioned in the traditional literature
  • any particular trends that you have noticed in recent years and think are worthy of note (ideally with supporting evidence!)

The scope of the book is work in the UK from 2005 to 2010. You need not mention the Cambridge History - that will be getting a section all of its own.

Please pass this message on to anyone you know who may have an opinion to share.  Thank you!
