Several other LIS blogs have posted the announcement for a one-day conference this Fall @ Dartmouth titled “Beyond the Building: Taking the Library to Our Users”. Trouble is, I think the conference organizers dropped the ball bigtime. Nowhere on the schedule is blogging or RSS mentioned! Get a clue. This is the hottest technology out there and the easiest for a library to use and this conference is talking about how to leveage radio!?
