Thanks, Janice

I'm finding that entry fascinating reading. (I'm still figuring out how to work blogs, and I haven't found out how to set thing so that I get informed when there are new postings, which means I forget to check back . . . in fact, the only reason I found this was that I was trying to get to my own test blog, posted something, and then discovered it was actually on Lilac . . . ).

This should be a comment on Janice's post, I know -- but I don't know how to delete a mistaken post, so I'm converting it.

2009 Georgia Conference on Information Literacy

What can I say, except it was a great conference this year! I have posted some rough notes from sessions I attended at http://mywabbit.blogspot.com/2009/10/notes-from-2009-georgia-conference-on.html . Of course, there's no way I can do justice to the conference sessions!

I enjoyed meeting some of you face-to-face at the conference and at the LILAC Project meeting. I will be posting notes and following up via email as soon as I can pull the information together. I appreciate the good ideas and the interest. Don't forget to post your ideas here and sign up with our LILAC Wiki at http://lilac.wetpaint.com/ to contribute/edit the documents we will be posting there as well!

More later.
