Overall impressions of the conference

These are the things that grabbed me.

1. Web - based catalogue - FANTASTIC
2. Interactive Local History files.
3. Blog-based teen pages
4. Patron reviews and Patron tagging
5. Video story time
6. Videos made in libraries - or even bayside photo competition
7. Email notification PRE overdue.
8. Imaginon

It was a wonderfully inspiring day; though felt a bit inadequate with all the technology. I have not even considered implications - that is for others.

However, as Cavafy suggests, Ithica is not a place , it is a journey.
