Where you can buy Rocket Packs for $2.00.

Where you can buy Penguin Paperback Editions of your favourite contemporary authors.

Where you can stupidly offer to do three presentations and one workshop over five days in two different cities – and not realise that probably one would be sufficient. Overexposing, excessive and stress producing (but thrilling and stimulating too). If you see me at any of these sessions, come up and say hi.

1 February 2008 Friday 3:15 – 5pm Second Life workshop. Creating avatars and doing more with avatars Web 2.0 : Beyond the Hype, Brisbane.

2 February 2008 Saturday 1:15 – 1:45 Hot Topic Presentation Five Social Software Sites that libraries shouldn’t ignore Web 2.0 : Beyond the Hype, Brisbane.

5 February 2008 Tuesday 11:20 – 11:50 Paper: Do we remove all the walls? Second Life Librarianship VALA conference, Melbourne

6 February Wednesday 2:35 – 3:05 Paper: Libraries interact: collaboration and community in the Australian library blogosphere with Con Wiebrands (but without Fiona Bradley the other author as she’s in the Hague having exciting fun doing marvels with the website for IFLA). VALA conference, Melbourne

I’m looking forward to meeting library folk from all over Australia, hearing new ideas and especially meeting some of the the lint folk for the first time (watch librariesinteract.info for details of the first Australian Library Bloggers’ Dinner in Melbourne on Monday 4 February – all bloggers or blog curious welcome). Not looking forward to those “mix ‘n’ mingle” events (like the Conference Dinner), where I get totally overwhelmed and am never sure quite what I’m meant to be doing.

By the way, if you’re wondering about the Rocket Pack. Look here .
