LibrarianInBlack links to the handy guide for conference bloggers by Ethan Zuckerman and Bruno Giussani. (I certainly could’ve used this at the IL2007!)
Ten things that will change your future lists technologies that are likely to be influential. I was aware of the Seti@home project, microblogging (Twitter, Jaiku etc.), and One laptop per child; the others [...]
Generic comments on the IL2007 conference
Posted in Conferences, Eh?, Web 2.0, tagged IL2007 on Sunday, November 4, 2007 | No Comments »
As was to be expected, a lot of the audience had their laptops out and were clicking away (taking notes) during talks. Here we are, preaching to ourselves the usefulness of technological solutions, and then we don’t put our money where out mouth is. Sure, the conference organizers provided a print booklet of any presentation [...]

I enjoyed my first conference (Internet Librarian 2007) very much, and hope to go again. Unfortunately ever since I’ve been battling a cold. Must be people coming together from all around that makes a wonderful breeding ground for germs.

I started the day with Mashups & Data Visualizations: New Breed of Web Applications by Darlene Fichter. Impressive stuff. Then I had a really tough choice again: Designing an OPAC for Web 2.0, or World of Warcraft vs. Second Life. I’ve been interested in SL for a while, so that tipped the scale. (I do [...]

Geeky evening entertainment

The evening session was called Gadgets, Gadgets & Gaming!, and it was longer than the daytime ones. We were first treated to a bunch of new (or almost new) gadgets or services. Then the 4-man team from the Delft PL in the Netherlands told us about their trip in the States, showing and filming more [...]

During lunch break, I took a stroll to the Fisherman’s Wharf and back. There were several sea lions (I think) basking on the buoys, making the most incredible racket. I’ve never experienced anything like that before.
Back to the conference. How to Lose Your New Tech Librarians wasn’t really up my alley, but I figured I [...]

The stupidest thing is gotta be a librarian (“paying attention to detail”) misreading their conference schedule and missing the beginning of the morning’s keynote. Fortunately I wasn’t too late, for Joe Janes’s talk (Reference 2.0: Ain’t What It Used to Be… And Never Will Again) was terrific!
His points reinforced my belief that for me, coming [...]
