CIL highlights

These presentations were noteworthy for me:

Meredith Farkas spoke about building collaboration, communication and community online. Her blog is Information Wants To Be Free.

Nicole Engard of Jenkins Law Library spoke about her library's use of intranet-based blogs and wikis for project management and documentation. Her blog is What I Learned Today. See her posting about "The Future of the Catalog" presentation with Tim Spaulding of LibraryThing and Roy Tennant.

David Lee King gave an excellent presentation on Guiding Libraries & Info Pros through Change.

Day 1 at CIL 2007

The keynote speaker on the first day of the conference was Lee Rainie, Director, Pew Internet & American Life Project. See the website for interesting data on Internet trends.

I attended 4 more presentations that day. Rebecca Jones of Dysart & Jones Associates talked about Organizing 2.0. Web 2.0 is about relationships and collaborations; our organizational structures don't parallel these changes reflected in technology. A question she posed: Do we staff the organization or organize the staff? Rebecca is an excellent speaker and gave us some good ideas to think about in working with our organizations in the changing world we line in today. Her presentation is here.
