I will be returning to Monterey for Internet Librarian at the end of the month. I believe this will be my fifth time at IL. Unlike most years, however, I will be only a spectator this time around. No presentations for me. I was scheduled to do a workshop, but, alas, it got canceled. It’s been a while since I’ve been to any conference where I didn’t have some kind of presentation or committee obligations, which means I can pour my enthusiasm into attending sessions. Because of these obligations, I don’t always have the opportunity to get to as many sessions as I would like, so this time will be a bit of a treat.
I will be combining the conference with a little bit of vacation so I should return with a stimulated brain and recharged batteries.
Below is my initial schedule.
