Paul Miller has posted a follow up to his presentation at CIL last week. He commented on our (the biblioblogosphere’s) doubts that vendors will ever live up to the dream he presented to us. Change is hard. Change can hurt. Given where we are now, and where the wider world is going, change is essential. [...]

I was reflecting on what I learned last week at the conference and I thought I should share with you all one way that we’re trying to create Tech Savvy Staff – and it’s free! We (meaning I) look for free webinars offered through places like OPAL, SirsiDynix and KM World and invite the entire [...]

This is the first year I was a blogger at CIL – it’s my first year as a blogger at all – what’s the point? Well I was reading everyone else’s summaries (now that mine are finished) and I saw this bullet point from Amanda Etches-Johnson and I just had to share it here because [...]

A lot of people have been adding their CIL pictures to Flickr – but only one has sketches from the sessions! Derik Badman sketched what he saw while in sessions and around the conference. Very cool!

I mentioned that Darlene Fichter had great props for the DigiTech Forum – well Nancy Garmen from Info Today got a great picture. Make sure you check it out. PS. I’m catching up on my reading so I’ll probably have more CIL summaries to share with you from the other bloggers. Technorati Tags: cil2006, cil06

Recovering – slowly

Meredith says in her CIL: Impressions post – “I feel like I've been run over by a train.” Great way to explain it Meredith! I was so wiped yesterday that I wrote up some of my summaries and then took a nap – and I wrote some more and went to bed early I had [...]

I know that you’ve been wondering since I posted about the Future of Catalogs what my favorite session was at CIL this year – well, here it is! Paul Miller is the Technology Evangelist for Talis – how fun does that sound?? Paul said “One day I’ll have a normal job” but why would you [...]

I think my pup (Coda) is tired of me sitting on the couch with this laptop – when I sat down this morning she jumped up and sat on my notes But that’s not the point of this post – I want to share with you the OSS options that Glen Horton shared with us [...]

Future of OPACs Catalogs

If I wasn’t finished with the conference and I was posting this live I’d say that this was the best presentation of the entire conference – now that I know what comes after I’d have to vote this as the second best. Roy Tennant started this presentation by killing the word OPAC and replacing it [...]
