back

I am back from vacation.

As always, I will try to provide mostly analysis and commentary in this blog.  For raw links, check out my Furl linkblog.

As indicated on my wiki, my main current projects are

• Internet Librarian International 2005 unofficial wiki (please contribute!)
• Library Success wiki - Web Browser Extensions

The Web Browser Extensions page will be used to support the brief presentation I am giving at ILI2005.
I am planning to add more information about JavaScript and XML there as it is becoming clear to me that these are new core technologies for building interfaces to your library on the web.
I am also working on secret project which hopefully will be done by the end of the month.

In terms of conferences you can see the conference plan on my wiki, but basically here's what's coming up:

Council of Federal Libraries in Ottawa September 14, 2005 (will attend).  I'm going to tag this with the rather awkward CFLAFS2005 (the AFS part is for Annual Fall Seminar).
Internet Librarian International in London October 10-11, 2005 (will present) - for more info, see my ILI2005 category.
There will be an entire track on blogs and wikis at ILI.

In 2006 I may attend some or all of:
148th ARL in Ottawa May 16-19, 2006
CLA 2006 in Ottawa June 14-17, 2006 - for more info, see my CLA2006 category.  Presumably the web site will be http://www.cla.ca/conference/2006/index.htm, but currently only info for exhibitors is up.

Access 2006 in Ottawa October 11-14, 2006

As you can see, 2006 is going to be a library-conferenceriffic time here.
