You may remember us blogging about "the Dutch guys" earlier this year, when their keynote at the CIL Conference was such a sensation. They wowed the crowd by explaining how they had driven across the U.S. interviewing librarians, and they showed a few video clips they'd made while on the road.

Looking Forward to SLA ITI Bloggers June 9th, 2008 The Infotoday Blog team (Don Hawkins, Paula Hane, Barbara Brynko, and Marydee Ojala) are looking forward to the SLA annual conference, which starts this coming weekend in Seattle. We’ve been studying the program, trying to decide which sessions to cover in the blog.

I've been super busy lately finishing up the May/June issue of Marketing Library Services. But now it's almost ready to go to press so I thought I'd check in here. (Wait till you see the cover story about playing Wii games at a retirement center! What a great outreach project!) BTW, all my CIL conf pics are finally up on my flickr site.

I'm still catching up from the conference- what a great week! I finally met some online friends like Steve, Michael, Jenny and Helene. And got the chance to catch up with folks I hadn't seen since last year and even made some new friends. The presentation went okay.

CIL 2008 is now history. Plans for next year will soon be underway. Check the Information Today website for dates and location. And if you have a speaking proposal, the Call For Papers will be issued in July. Watch for it. I hope you enjoyed the conference as much as my colleagues and I have enjoyed bringing it to you on this blog.

He highly recommends Google’s Reader as the best one for RSS, and he’s not alone; it has become the market leader.

Is your library in the happiness business? Liz Lawley, director of the Lab for Social Computing at Rochester Institute of Technology, says that libraries are more than just a place—they act as the emotional centers of their communities and places where people can feel happy.
