You have to hand it to our Dutch friends, Erik Boekesteijn and Jaap Van de Geer. Not only are they Information Today authors and speakers as well as Library Journal Movers & Shakers for 2009, but they continue to push the envelope. This year, while Erik is interviewing Paul Hodergraber of the New York Public Library in CIL’s Tuesday morning keynote presentation [for more info see earlier post], Jaap will be live streaming the event. So if you can’t be with us here in DC where the sun is shining and the cherry blossoms are in full splendor, check out the live feed of tomorrow’s keynote from your computer. There is a link to the right of this post — under Links, click on CILLive. Enjoy and let us know how it works and how you like it.

Yep, we’re back for another Computers in Libraries conference. Today, Sunday, saw lots of people arriving in DC and settling in, while others were delayed by flight troubles. And there were a number of great pre-conference sessions today — including one by Yours Truly.
This evening there was another successful gaming session put together by Aaron Schmidt and Erik Boekesteijn. Lots of people gathered for pizza and playtime.
Tomorrow morning will begin with the welcomes from the conference organizers and the opening keynote. Stay tuned!

@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.

It is so cool to see @spatialxr being used as a podcasting platform. Check out episode 2 with Archeologist Giles Morrow at https://youtu.be/ArBY-zpXL5Q via @YouTube
