I interviewed Wanda Bruchis for my technology planning article last year. I emailed shortly after Hurricane Katrina and was glad to hear she’s fine.

Greetings from the workshop!
http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6261414.html The whole cover thing blows me away… wow! I can’t thank the group of people pictured there and Brian and the LJ folks for one of the best conversations I’ve had this year! Flickr set of the session: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/sets/517913/ I was very happy to work with Brian Kenney on this article and gather the bloggers featured.

This is one to add to your aggregator!! I linked below but here’s Michael Casey’s blog: http://www.librarycrunch.com/ I’m intrigued by the twist “Library 2.0″… I just added it to Safari’s RSS feeds.
