Open for business

Tony Kidd has ably dispensed with the growing number of pleasantries that kick off UKSG: we've thanked our sponsors, awarded our prizes, paid tribute to our founder, and been welcomed by the Lord Provost. The wifi is under strain from our most connected audience yet, and the tweet stream at #uksglive is buzzing. Now Stephen Abram has taken the stage and Todd Carpenter beside me is busy taking notes for blogging later. We're off! Keep it right here at UKSGLive ... Don't touch that dial :-D
