Library Camp is a style of unconference. An unconference is is a facilitated, participant-driven
conference centered around a theme or purpose. The term "unconference" has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees and sponsored presentations. For example, in 2006, CNNMoney applied the term to diverse events including
BarCamp,
Bloggercon, and
Mashup Camp.
