TLA District 8 Fall Meeting


The TLA District 8 Fall Meeting on is over. It had to be rescheduled due to a hurricane, and so lost a lot in attendance. Still it was a good conference. There were 7 or 8 sessions in each of the time slots to chose among, a general session and lunch. I enjoy meeting folks I've not see for too long and meeting some new faces. One person said I have given a decent talk at last year's meeting. I was very relieved to hear that. I was still on pain medication and a bit loopy. Afterwards I wasn't quite sure how it had gone. If anyone wants to give me feedback on the talk this year I'd be happy to hear from you. The conference doesn't supply feedback forms.

Thanks to all those who had to put it together twice.

Saturday I had the pleasure to speak to a group of librarians at the TLA District 8 Fall Meeting. I was surprised by just how few had even seen a Web log. Of the 30-40 attendees only 5-6 had even seen a 'blog. Maybe some others had, but didn't...
