Day the First: CIL 2009

March 31, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The first day and the previous day here at Computers In Libraries has been great. The wireless, while not perfect, is a marked improvement from last year.  The two session presenters were engaging.  The resource sharing and networking were as usual fantastic.

This year I am tweeting the sessions attended and will write fully annotated posts later this week.

To follow me daily here at CIL:  follow @confbaldgeek  on twitter for all of my tweets from the sessions.

In addition, today (Tuesday) we are going to do a live podcast of the show T is for Training

More tomorrow.

Good night from downtown Alexandria.

Congrats to the 2009 Movers and Shakers

March 16, 2009 · 5 Comments

Each year Library Journal publishes a list of those library world staff members recognized for moving the world of libraries forward.

You can see the official gallery here at Library Journal.

A heartfelt congratulations to all of the winners.  You all do the library profession proud by the work that you do every day.

On a personal note, I am honored to claim several of the 2009 M and S’s as web and real life colleagues.  Lori Reed, (a T is for Training regular,)  Sarah Houghton-JanJenica P. Rogers-Urbanek, Michael Porter and Lauren Pressley are all aces in my book.

Next week, the Library Society of the World’s Shovers and Movers award winners will be revealed.

Bobbi Newman (future M&S winner, IMHO) publishes a blog post linking to all of the resources of the winners. You can find that here at her blog Librarian By Day.

Again my congratulations to all of the winners.
