The PPT for Day 1 is available in VISTA - it's not especially thrilling - just recappish and introductory.

I hope everyone has noticed that we have a great line-up of CE offerings here at GSLIS, and that they are all available at a 50% discount for students. Check out the listings at http://www.simmons.edu/gslis/continuinged/workshops/.

I have been quiet for the past little while, so thought I would just drop in for a minute while in an Internet cafe in Glasgow (Scotland) and let you all know that I am still here. Stayed up till 4am last night/this morning listening to amazing music (after a day full of concerts, just one of 18 days full of music). I am on my way to hear two Breton musicians, and that will be followed by another late night of Club. If you want to know more about this amazing festival I have been attending for the past 14 years, check out http://www.celticconnections.com/. I am actually in this photo - http://www.flickr.com/photos/abirobertson/361740177/- the red hat at the switchback point of the stairs on the left. I have lots of my own photos, but no time to load them.

I have not ignored GSLIS completely. Thanks to Jen Doyle, I got some room problems straightened out for 419 and 415 (the former will be meeting in P-210, and the latter in L-305), and have been working on the journal which Peter Hernon and I edit.

See you next week - back on Wednesday.

If you got used to seeing the Clusty cloud on my blog, then you will notice that I deleted it. Too much real estate, and too much time delay. Nice idea though - make your own Clusty cloud by entering your name as the query.

Check it out - the Athenaeum is running a bicentennial lecture series, free and open to the public. They have a "fridge list" showing lectures throughout the spring on library topics such as copyright (Feb 22), preservation (Mar 15), the cultural influence of libraries (Apr 26), censorship (May 10), and the organization of knowledge (May 17). All Thursdays, and all at 6pm. They also have an amazing collection of Webcasts.

Allen Smith took this photo in the wilds of Washington State, and was kind enough to give me a copy. I want to know what was at the end of that mile.
