Off to Rochester…then to Monterey…

Internet Librarian International 2006: L2 Track

It was standing room only in this mornings Web 2.0/Library 2.0 Session featuring Phil Bradley, Brian Kelly, and Paul Miller. I moderated the lively hour of L2 discussion and insights. My favorite slide was Phil Bradley’s, in response to all the discussion about semantics and buzzwords. It simply said: “I don’t care” I LOLed and Phil proceeded to detail how the web and how libraries are changing, as did the other esteemed folks. Jenny blogged the entire session here: http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/archives/2006/10/16/20061016_ili_setting_the_stage_for_20.html More later…must sleep.
