If you've received an email from anyone at the State Library this week, you may have noticed that our email addresses have changed, and pretty significantly. No, we're not sending out a cry for help, but we are changing all our email addresses and URLs from sos.wa.gov over to sos.wa.gov.
Ask-WA had its television debut last Friday night on Komo News! All the video they took was from the UW, but they covered the service well, and in a very good light, and mentioned all the key points.
Day 4 of the conference started with another great keynote: a panel of two high school students and one college student talking about how they view technology, education, and their own research habits.
Day three started off with a funny and interesting keynote with Paul Holdengraber (who had interviewed Vint Cerf the previous day), and continued in good form with some great sessions.
Vint Cerf started the day, and the beginning of the actual conference, with an amazing keynote. The interchange between Vint and Paul Holdengraber, his interview, was oftentimes hilarious as well as poignant.
Technically a pre-conference, Sunday was well-spent attending the Searcher's Academy. A number of speakers covered a number of topics, all relating to searching, and many of them very useful.
I just returned from the Internet Librarian Conference (and sunny Monterey, CA) yesterday, and my brain is definitely still trying to absorb new ideas, concepts, and nifty web tools.
