More Connections at CIL 2006
Mar 23rd, 2006 by Karen
The best thing about Computers in Libraries is the ability to meet and talk to new people. Already I’ve subscribe to a couple new blogs by librarians I met at the conference. Plus, I’m collaborating on a future pre/post conference with Jason A. Clark from Montana State University. He and I have similar interests in Ajax and web services.
I understand the technology in theory, but it is great to meet someone who knows a bit more about it and is doing something useful with it. I’m hoping that he might be able to give me a few pointers as I work on some Ajax stuff for our new CMS and website.
I also have been thinking about how I might use the Google API to get links to OpenWorldCat into my blog more easily. Right now I keep a tab permanently open for OpenWorldCat searching when I’m blogging. This way I can add links to books into my posts. It works but I wish it was more convienient. Maybe I can find a few minutes to work on such stuff. That is after I get out from under the mountain of work that is piling up while I am at CIL.
