Say “hi” to the Aussie at Computers in Libraries

Apr 13th, 2007 Print this

If you’re at Computers in Libraries 2007, in Washington D.C., look out for Michelle McLean, aka the Connecting Librarian.

She’s giving a paper about “Library 2.0 Initiatives in Australia” (C104 at 2:15 pm on Monday afternoon). She has a wiki page on the CIL 2007 wiki if you want to arrange to meet up with her.

Michelle received a Ramsey Reid Scholarship to attend the conference and also to study virtual services in selected public libraries on the East Coast. I’m following her adventure via twitter, flickr and her blog. Almost as good as being there with her.

    Kathryn,

    Thanks for keeping on my tail. With you tracking me, I’ll have to be sure to keep up-to-date, lol. Which means I had better go and update my Twitter!

    Hey Michelle. You’re meant to be hobnobbing not reading your feeds! In the dialect of your host country - “you go girl!”.

    Not only did I attend Michelle’s session, but I also had the chance to “hang” with her and we even sat in “bloggers’ alley” together during the conference, sharing comments via Twitter. I told her to say hello to you, but there you go I have just done it myself! ;-)

    Cheers,
    Connie

    Hello again Connie. Glad you caught up with Michelle. I hope your accents stood out loud and proud together. Maybe in another few years I’ll get to CIL myself. …Dreaming….

    Perhaps Michelle can give you some pointers on how she got the speaker gig. ;-)

    Meanwhile, I would love to go there. Have to figure out a similar plan!

    Cheers,
    Connie

    Ah, Michelle was on a scholarship and will be doing lots of extra work when she gets back. Not for me quite yet, but when the littlies are a bit bigger, and my uni library is 100% L2.0ified, then I’ll stick my head up again….although I wouldn’t say no if anyone offered :)

    I’ll work on the Gettiing Connie to Australia campaign, however.
