CLA Conference – Paul & Kelly's Take

Here's the report that a couple classmates sent to our class listserv with their take on the CLA conference… —The good:The 2 best presentations we saw were on Thursday, one on recruitment in Academic Libraries, and the other was a debate on whether we as librarians have made ourselves obsolete over the past decade.

A Few CLA Photos…

Shea had the camera while being a tourist (and we didn't think to take our old-fashioned film camera which still needs to have its current roll finished) so I didn't take as many shots at CLA as I normally would have.  Here are some though… A couple from the Thursday night pub crawl… Three previous […]

Misadventures at CLA – Day Four (Saturday)

Just back from the CLA conference (it officially ended up Saturday but we stayed an extra day to do some sightseeing and so we'd have a full day to drive home instead of rushing on Saturday.)  Turns out this was a wise decision as I'll explain later… Saturday, I was again up very early and […]

Misadventures at the CLA Conference – Day One (Wednesday)

I meant to post yesterday but the fact that we're staying at a residence.  On campus.  In the year 2006.  And it still doesn't have ANY Internet connection fuddled those plans.  So I'm probably going to change the date stamp on this entry so it counts as yesterday.  And then my next blog post will […]

Canadian Library Association

Turn around twice and after two days in Toronto, I'm off to Ottawa for the Canadian Library Association conference.  I'm taking my laptop but not sure what the Internet situation will be like where we're staying so new blog posts may be sporadic until next week.   The timing couldn't have been better – the one […]
