SLA 2007

Tomorrow I’m headed to Denver for SLA 2007. I’ll be blogging here and at the SLA Blog.

Some things on my schedule:

  • Walking Miles in the Mile High City (free pedometers from the Social Science Division and Thomson Scientific & Dialog!)
  • The Personal Trainer (library services as an employee benefit)
  • Meet the Non-Profit Sector
  • NAFTA at 13: Unruly Teen or Happily Ever Afta (includes a presentation by Jen Darragh, who used to work with me)
  • Visualizing Statistics: Making Use and Sense of Graphs, Charts and Diagrams (I’m moderating)
  • Bloggers Get-together
  • Planning meetings for SLA 2008
  • High-altitude running and good beer!

My conference experience has certainly changed since I got involved in division leadership. I don’t have time to attend as many sessions, but I find I am very focused on the ones I can get to. I may not have time to get to any of the contributed papers sessions this year, but if you do, I would strongly encourage you to go. They are usually sparsely attended, but some of the best conference sessions I’ve ever been to have been contributed papers.

    I will be at the conference as well and hope to be able to do some blogging from there as well. Although i do not blog about librarianship, i do blog about information delivery in the enterprise. I wish i could make the Blogging Get-Together but have an afternoon obligation. Would still love to meet you- so come by the Dow Jones booth and ask for daniela! See you in Denver.
