2008/07/19: IL2008
I'm going to Internet Librarian 2008. I'm super-excited to visit Monterey because my lovely wife is going to take some vacation and join me for a personal long weekend prior to the conference. Business trips are sooooo much better when she gets to come.This will be my first infotoday conference. I've never gone for a variety of reasons. Mostly expense and employer inability to cover expense. Other reasons: I'm not a huge fan of business travel. It was a thrill when I was in my 20s. Now that I've done the circuit of major U.S. convention cities, it's less appealing 'cause it's been-there done-that. Being married with family is another incentive to want less travel. Also, I'm probably a wee bit bitter with myself for not ever submitting proposals to present at IL or CL. My shying away from giving talks is another tale, however.
I am pleased, as always, by the cool and interesting sessions. I'm looking forward to gleaning some good take-aways for application at MPOW. Also, catching up with various librarian friends that I don't get to see often enough.
