I am knocked out to be participating in a panel discussion focusing on School Library 2.0 at the 2006 School Library Journal Leadership Summit in Chicago this November. The roster is filled with names of folks I’ve read, learned from and had the honor to work with. This event will surely be blogged and reported from many angles, so if you aren’t attending (invitations went out a few weeks ago), watch the blogs and news sites!

Internet Librarian International 2006: London, England Originally uploaded by mstephens7. 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.

I just finished up an hour talk on technology trends for the folks at the LIANZA meeting in Wellington. I was chatting with the audience via VoIP from my office on campus at Dominican. I shot some photos with the MacBook Pro as well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/264394325/ I’m fascinated by the fact that Timothy Grieg was taking pictures and within an hour had them up on Flickr, so I could see what the room and the projection looked like. The world seems very small when we can meet and chat across distance and time. I also added Timothy as a contact, favorited […]
