Check back for coverage of the Internet Librarian and Computers in Libraries conferences.
Last year’s Computers in Libraries opened with a keynote address by Lee Rainie, Director, Pew Internet and American Life Project. Erik interviewed him before his address titled “Friending Libraries: The Nodes in People’s Social Networks”. Thanks Marydee Ojala (@marydeeo) for reminding us about this video.
Can’t wait more two weeks? Here is the Wednesday keynote from last year’s Computers in Libraries by Michael Edson, Director of Web & New Media Strategy, Office of the CIO, Smithsonian Institution.
Mark Your Calendar For CIL 2010
This might go down in history as the “CIL Twitter Conference” because there were so many tweets that CIL rose to be one of the most popular subjects, especially on Tuesday right after that fabulous keynote interview with Paul Holdengraber.
CIL will be back at the Crystal City Hyatt next year, so mark your calendars NOW. See you then!

On Monday at CIL Greg Notess talked searching conversations and I’m really excited about mining the conversations at CIL. Darlene Fichter just posted a tweet cloud , using TagCrowd.com, reflecting 24 hours of Twitter conversation about #CIL2009. Jason Clark did a Wordle cloud based on the CIL 2009 conference program. And here is my (well JD did help me!) Wordle cloud based on our blog posts about CIL2009.

@dssctr & I presented “Engaging Users with VR” for @FLVirtualCampus. We used @spatialxr to explain VR & offer ideas to show it’s potential for education, esp. exploring mockups of outer space, art museums, avatar journalists, science labs, & more.
