CIL2010

I WISH I'd been able to go to this conference. I've been following the tweets (#cil2010) and blog posts by participants. The content looks really good.

I'm intrigued by this blog post by Sarah Houghton-Jan, about a panel discussion in which presenters had to list 3 innovative and 3 dead technologies. Flash drives, cell phones that are only phones and Adobe formats are dead, apparently, as are proprietary catalogue systems (yip, I coulda told you that).

Read the post - it's an eye-opener.

Maybe I could get to this conference next year...

Looky!

I've been published! I'd link to the paper, but it's not online. Sigh. I wrote this as part of the Research Libraries Consortium Library Academy last year:

Blogging in South African Libraries: a preliminary survey. Innovation: journal of appropriate librarianship and information work in Southern Africa, no. 39, December 2009. pp 34-42.
