Hi, I'm Lawrence Wolofsky from Ottawa, Canada. This is my first CIL. Is it okay to admit I'm not a librarian?? I Do Work in a library, though. My deparment's library is responsible for it's web presence and my job as an web/ASP developer is to keep it humming with the latest, gadgets, tools, techniques. We have information there, too! Our internet site, which I just finished, looks like this. I can barely wait to see what others are doing in their libraries at the CIL conference in Crystal City. I'm also looking forward to getting away from the 5 feet of snow we still have piled on our front lawn. So, if you come across me somewhere at CIL08, a good (pardon the pun) icebreaker might be "So, how's the snow up there in Canada?"
Here's the plan for the 3+ days:
Sunday:
petting zoo, of course!
Monday:
| Web 2.0 |
| Mobile Search |
| Fast Site Tune ups |
| Widgets, tools, etc |
| What do users really do.. |
Tuesday:
| 1st choice | 2nd |
| Next Gen Interfaces | Wikis.., or Mashups |
| Drupal | |
| Harnessing New Data Visualization Tools | |
| Video, YouTube.. | Pecha Kucha |
InfoTubeys should be great. I love YouTube but generally watch stuff alone or with the kids, then email the link to someone. Should be good to watch the Infotubeys with other adults!
