Computers In Libraries


keynote
Originally uploaded by decatur library.

Greetings from chilly Washington, DC. I'm at the Computers In Libraries 06 conference. Been to some great sessions about search engines, wikis, federated search etc. The keynote session today covered current and potential library-esque applications for handheld devices. And just saw Lorcan Dempsey from OCLC talk about some very cool stuff they're doing with WorldCat metadata.

I'll post more details about some interesting stuff when I get back or later on if I get a chance. And the presentations are usually online too at some point. Plus there are several folks blogging the conference in way more detail. Check out the CIL wiki bloggers section for links and more info.
