Well, after three tough days of self promotion, I finally made it into the hallowed halls of Internet Librarian fame: I'm on the right with the fantastic head of hair.

This is the presentation that's going to solve all my problems and make my day-to-day job easier…
They're (Karen Coombs and Amanda Hollister from SUNY Cortland) talking about making different systems play nice, like: ILLiad, SFX, OPAC, EZProxy… This is what I want to do too… “If the users could just take some of the data [...]

It's the last day of the conference and I feel like I've finally hit my stride. I'm active, listening, interested and critical… well, I'm always those things - but now it's healthily focused.
I just attended this morning's kenote with Rich Wiggins (Michigan State Univ), Roy Tennant (needs no introduction), and Adam Smith (Google Print/Library [...]

Presented by Karen Schneider, director of Librarians' Index to the Internet and author of Free Range Librarian; one of my favorite blogs. She already has blogged her own talk = vg. I thought this would be a great one to attend considering that advocating for a blog at UNH is my new cause and I [...]

I'm in the first presentation of the day- the wifi is holding out okay; so far so good; steady as she goes…

Okay, I'm in the final program of the web managers day…

Open source CMSs that I am interested in investigating are Mambo and Drupal. [...]

So, here I am at the first day of Internet Librarian 2005 proper (as opposed to to the preconference I participated in yesterday). AND I abandoned my Web Managers track (more on why soon) in favor of the public libraries track hosted by Michael Stephens. I couldn't resist because Jenny Levine and Jessamyn [...]

First, thanks to UNH for sponsoring this trip to LA, I made it safely here yesterday and spent a fantastic leisurely evening exploring, eating good mexican food, and planning my attack. One bummer, internet access in my room costs $10/day and I *really* wanted to be able to comfortably work from here. I'm [...]

I head out early Saturday morning for Internet Librarian 2005. I'll participate in the Web Managers Academy on Sunday and then enjoy three days of conference cruising. I'm looking forward to learning lots of relevent, cutting-edge stuff. Stuff I can come home and play with.
Plus…. it's in Monterey. Sunshine and fresh [...]
