So today was a day where I spent a good deal of time with vendors and since Mary Beth and Susan will most likely cover the sessions I went to, I’ll focus my post on what I learned about new products and offerings on the horizon. The day started with a breakfast sponsored by Serial... more ›

Rethink, Redefine, Reinvent: the Research Library in the Digital Age was the theme of this year’s Launch conference. Since so many of us attended this conference, each of will blog one presentation to avoid repetition. In the afternoon I attended the break-out session “Changing Workforce” which I thought from the title would be about diversity... more ›
Yesterday was a long day of travel, and introduction to ACRL, and a bit of exploring for me. I left the Greensboro airport at 6:30 to get into Seattle around 1:00ish.

The tour was populated with two buses full of librarians, so I guess there were plenty interested here at the conference. (The tour of area glass blowing facilities, didn’t make it, however.)

Had a fabulous tour with Mary Beth and Susan today called “Chocolate, Waterfalls and Wine” – hard to think of any other combination more appealing to me unless it had been called “Shakespeare, Frank Lloyd Wright and ACC Basketball”! We started at Boehm’s Chocolate’s just outside of Seattle. Handmade chocolates, free of preservatives, housed in... more ›

First person I see is Jim Williams, Dean of Libraries at Colorado-Boulder, and an old friend of mine (from the 70’s!) from Wayne State. The... more ›
