Just wanted to share with you all (in case you didn’t already know):

I’ve said it a hundred times and I’ve talked about others who have said it - but this topic bears repeating - over and over until it’s stuck in everyone’s head!! The way we design web pages needs to change - it’s changing all around us and it’s time to learn from others and [...]

I realized at this conference that as a blogger I, and other blogger/presenters, assume that people have the same knowledge as us. I frequently heard blogger/presenters say “you’ve probably heard about …” or “you’ve seen the …. video already”, but the fact of the matter is that we’re really still a small minority. [...]

So, Meredith Farkas started off her talk by telling the audience that I bite!! Yep, that’s right - I’m a biter I’m just kidding, Meredith (and me later today) was in the worst room for presenting. There are 2 pillars in the middle of the room that make it nearly impossible [...]

I am done! My presentation went well as you an tell by this twitterer:

If you want the slides they are on my Publications & Presentations page - and here. I’ll try to do a screencast when I get back home for those who couldn’t see the screen or weren’t able to attend.

Next I heard David Lee King talk about Library 2.0 “Setting up the New Stuff”. While I obviously have a feel for some of the basic technologies that David went over, I’m still glad that I attended this event so that I can share what I learned with you all.
David broke the talk into [...]

I got to hear Lee Rainie give the keynote at CIL last year - I have to say I’m glad that he gave a different talk this year - I was a bit worried that it wasn’t going to be a new keynote.
Lee talked about Web 2.0 and what it means to libraries. He [...]

I have finished the first draft of my presentation for CIL. This year I’ve been lax. I usually have this stuff done months in advance - but things have been crazy!! If you’re going, make sure that you add your schedule to the wiki so people know where to find you. [...]

Is something up with Bloglines or are people writing less? I usually have hundreds of things to read (thousands if I do my homework like I should) - and yet I’ve been able to keep up lately. Also, all del.icio.us feeds are looking wierd and not very helpful at all. I might have [...]

Jonathan talked about user-centered design and how it has been [...]
