Computers in Libraries posts--Coming soon!

If your waiting for my posts on presentation don't despair! I do have notes on the presentations that I've attended and I'll be putting those up over the next couple of days. I took notes and I'm trying to clean them up a bit before I post. I'm not quite as good as some other folks like Librarian by day and librarianinblack at gathering their notes so fast (seriously those 2 are freaking awesome at their coverage!)

I've enjoyed my time at CIL and get to participate in an on the fly T is for Training last night which was a lot of fun. Once it's posted take a listen to it. And if you haven't listened to it before check it out! Maurice Coleman puts together a great podcast every two weeks and there's a great list of people that participate (such as Librarian by Day.)

CIL and me

This is my second year being at Computers in Libraries. Last year was my first time attending a library conference of this scale comprised of librarians across the country...and people whose blogs that I follow. I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated last year. I met and talked to a few folks whose blogs that I followed the longest and a couple of other really cool people, but for the most part I stayed back from the crowd.

This year is a bit different. Over the past year I've gotten to "meet" a lot of really cool people virtually. People that I missed last year at CiL. When some of these folks heard that I didn't talk to many people last year they told me the next time I can back I'd better talk to people or else. So because I really did want to meet some of those folks (and that "or else" was kinda of scary) I've been trying to talk and meet more of the people that I know virtually. And I've really enjoyed it. It's made the time go by faster, definately made the conference more interesting (and yes it's only the 1st day), and given me ideas of what I can take back.

I look forward to meeting more folks and attending some good presentations (already heard a few...posts coming!) If I haven't met you yet it's either cause I'm not sure its you or I'm a bit intimidated, so just walk up to me or something :)

Computers in Libraries 2009!

I'm a bit late at posting this, but I'm at Computers in Libraries 2009. I'll be blogging the presentations that I attend for the next few days so that you can hear what I hear. If you're here at CIL and wanna meet up, leave a comment and let me know where and when. My schedule is pretty much wide open. Look forward to meeting some of you folks that are here and listening to some great presentations!
