I know I’m not done with my summaries yet – so why am I reading others?? Well I was just on Dave Hook’s site looking at the picture from our dinner – and saw that he did a summary of the Cool Tools session. I didn’t attend this session because I attended one at Internet [...]
My first session Friday was the Search Engine update from Gary Price. You can tell that Gary loves his job just by watching him present. He was out of time and he just kept going and going hehe Gary put up his presentation so that everyone can benefit from it – so I’ll just summarize [...]
As you notice, I’m home and posting my conference summaries – I thought I should explain what happened.

Janie set up a [...]

Megan Fox gave a very interesting (especially for me – who is sorely behind on mobile devices) keynote presentation yesterday morning. At our library the Blackberry is the mobile device of choice – but according to Megan Smart phone are being used more than PDAs – which make sense because who wants to carry around [...]
Hey look what I found – a list of CIL Blogger. Make sure to read what others are saying about the conference – keep in mind we’ve been having trouble with the limited access we have to wireless – so posts are probably going up late or not at all. Technorati Tags: cil06, cil2006
