CIL2007

I attended the Computers in Libraries conference in Arlington, Virginia, April 16-18, 2007. This was the first time I had attended this conference. While the content presented was excellent, the logistics at the conference hotel were terrible. There just wasn't enough space for the 2600+ attendees to move around easily. With a Noreaster' blowing for two days, it was tough to venture outside the hotel for the first two days without using the shuttle bus.

It was great to hear how other librarians are using technology and trying new things all the time. I just wish I had enough hours each day to keep up with my peers at the larger organizations. Well, I may not be able to move as fast as they do, but I can sure learn from them and adopt a few new things along the way.
