Back to Blogging; Charleston conference

A short note. Here it is, almost time for snow, and I have not blogged since the dog days of August. The fall semester began with a bang, one of my team leaders passed away, and I have been busy with her job and mine. Plus there have been meetings, including the usual great conference in Charleston.

Speaking of the Charleston conference, a wonderful skit spoofing Second Life was performed during one of the plenary sessions. This was definitely a welcome moment of comic relief, for there were many good sessions -- and many intense sessions -- about the future of libraries. One speaker stated the bibliographic instruction is dead. Another speaker stated that we should concentrate on teaching. So where does the truth lie? Anyway, there was much fine food for the belly, and much food for thought during the Charleston conference.
