It feels good to be in the air and headed west to California
and the Internet Librarian Conference again. This is my 10th year to present, and
one of the highlights of any year. For
much of my academic career,, this conference has been my goto event for new
learning and inspiration. It has sparked ideas that have led to a large portion
of my writing and presenting over the years. Through this conference I found
myself writing a regular column for Internet@Schools Magazine, and also used
ideas and new knowledge for three books, numerous articles in other
publications, and presentations in conferences throughout the US. Its not an
exaggeration to say that this event helped me move up through the ranks to full professor before taking retirement to
my present half-time position. I am looking forward to seeing familiar faces,
including the inimitable Dave Hoffman,
whom I can thank for my continuing presence and also my column. I am
also looking forward to two special colleagues, Diane Cordell with whom I am
presenting, and Carolyn Foote, fellow Texan and librarian extraordinaire. Let
the learning begin!
