Not going to Computers in Libraries?
February 21, 2006
If, like me, you don’t have enough spare cash floating around for a trip out to Computers in Libraries, fear not! Steve Lawson has rounded up a bunch of different ways to stay up to date with what’s happening at the conference for us non-attendees. While reading blog posts and looking at Flickr just isn’t the same, you can actually glean quite a bit out of people’s session posts. I will miss, though, the opportunity to further wear my fingers down to nubs conference-blogging.

Too bad we don’t live closer. We could drown our sorrows with bubbly legal liquid drugs (beer) while we read about what we’re missing at CLA. How can we be so info rich and cash poor? Boo hoo! *end of pity party*

So sad. I think that in my professional lifetime we’ll see the in-person conference lose a bit of its oomph. It seems a rather poor business model to only be able to offer these great educational opportunities to people who happen to have enough money (or whose institution’s have enough money) to attend (largely NOT public or school librarians). The virtual class, the virtual conference, and virtual networking is on the rise. I hope it continues.
