Seems like I just returned from NFAIS and I’m already thinking about the next conference, which is Computers in Libraries . Although it’s not the sexiest conference title around, it accurately reflects the themes presented during the 3 days. Plus, some of the individual session titles are really imaginative — “Keeping One Click Ahead” (Gary Price, Genie Tyburski, and Rita Vine), “Meet the Grokkers” (David Vose, Kate Bouman, and Alesia McManus, “Failing to Innovate is Not an Option” (Jill Hurst-Wahl), “Taxonomy Tales” (Jennifer Evert and Marjorie Hlava), “Scanning for Planning” (Alane Wilson), and “Is Google the Next Dialog?” (K. Matthew Dames) are a few that caught my eye. Other titles are more utilitarian, but the session descriptions look interesting.

If anybody wants to schedule a meeting with me, like to discuss an article you’re interested in contributing to ONLINE, just let me know. I’ll be there the entire three days.
