Going to Arlington

I'm flying out early tomorrowing morning for the Computers in Libraries conference in Arlington, VA. This is the third time I've been to this conference, and I'm thrilled to be going back again after a three-year hiatus.

I am very excited about the keynote tomorrow morning - Lee Rainie from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Some of you may remember Lee from "The Technolgy-Friendly Library" program SEMLS sponsored in December 2005. I missed some of his presentation, but heard it was wonderful. I hope tomorrow's weather doesn't delay me enough to miss his presentation again.

I get so much out of this conference, and I often have a hard time figuring out how to share it with all my colleagues in the region. I definitely incorporate much of what I learn in my workshops, but, this year, I'm going to try something different and blog from the conference. I hope to pass along some ideas and information that will be valuable to your library. And if you are a SEMLS member and are planning to attend the conference, I hope to see you there.
