Saturday
- Sustainable Libraries: Shades of Green. After listening to a couple of the presentations, (Ohio Township and Santa Monica) I got the picture. There was a lot of repetition. Conserving water, using natural light...
- Building and Supporting Koha, an Open-Source ILS - this was an interview of Joshua Ferraro, CEO of LibLime by John Houser of PALINET. It included some demos of the Koha system along with information on support provided by LibLime. There were a number of true believers there.
Summary from LITA blog - Social Software Showcase - I couldn't get into this one so I spent the afternoon in the exhibit hall. Luckily, a lot of the information is available from a Social Software wiki.
- OCLC Update Breakfast - got there a little late but did get the updates and talked a bit about Worldcat
- Library 2.0 and Children's Services -
- Top Technology Trends - partly because I was coming down with a cold and partly because I'm getting old and less and less able to multi-task, but I found this presentation incredibly distracting and hard to follow. They had two remote presenters via webcam, a local panel and opened up a Meebo chat room so attendees and panelists could chat during the presentation. So, you could read the chat on one topic on a big screen while the panelists might have been talking about something entirely different.
