This year's conference was just great. I want to thank all of the people at Nova for being so understanding and accommodating (especially to me and all of my weird requests). I am looking forward to next year's conference in Vegas.


Thanks to CALI conferences, I have a pretty good idea of what a technological classroom looks like, and even some idea of how it might evolve over the next few years. But I came away from this conference wondering what a technological library will look like say, 5 years from now. Will we still have a library? (I'm pretty sure we will.) Will we have electronic resources librarians or their titular equivalents? (Some suggest maybe not.) (More)

To comment on this blog, you need to complete a Captcha. This one requires you to type in a sequence of numbers, something I'm invaribly going to get wrong more often than not. I wonder if, instead, we could use KittenAuth instead. Ok, they've recently rewritten it so it's a bit buggy, but I find it much easier (and more fun) to click on pictures of cute animals than type boring numbers. (Ok, I know we can't really use KittenAuth; I just find it amusing.)

Pithiness and links to come later. The darn program ate my last post! You can find my comments from yesterday at all these locations: Keynote: Professor James Boyle, Center for Study of the Public Domain, Got Gamers? Law Students and Videogaming, VitalSource, Implementing tools for collaboration across boundaries, and WEX - An Online Legal Encyclopedia.

Dinner at Cafe Du Paris. The duck and shrimp were very good. The ginger ale was so-so.

Edited to fix the links.

Only a short post today. Instead of writing a lenghtly blog entry, I decided to comment on each of the sessions I attended. I"ll continue to comment tomorrow, but with a longer entry, too! (Translation: it's late. I'm tired!) Sessions attended:Plenary, Knowledge Management, Into the Future!, Roundtable on faculty use of technology, TWEN in the Classroom.

So we’re all here in sunny Fort Lauderdale, which I’m only now just figuring out is part of this whole Miami-Palm Beach continuum despite having a grandmother who lived in Palm Beach for some 25 years or so. Sometimes geography is challenging. (More)
