Tim to CIL and the Library of Congress, Abby to Australia
UPDATE: If you're in DC and want to come to CIL (Librarian? Enjoy vendor-tchotchkes?), I have 50 free tickets. I'm supposed to give them out to my important vendors and clients. That's you. Email me and we'll figure out how to do this. I'll probably leave a stack at the closest Starbucks.
I'm off to Computers in Libraries in Washington, DC. LibraryThing will have a booth there, and I've giving two talks:
On Thursday I'm doing a talk at the Library of Congress. I am completely psyched. It's not open to the public, but they said I could sneak in a friend or two.
Also on Thursday, Abby will be in Australia at the Innovative Ideas Forum, hosted by the National Library of Australia.**
On Friday*** I'll be the closing keynote at Digital Odyssey 2007, hosted by the Faculty of Information Studies, University of Toronto. I'm talking about "Social Cataloging and the 'Fun' OPAC?" I put them in myself, but I want to remove those quotes.
*Apparently I am one, because it's just me and I not planning to talk about the others.
**Synchronicity. We have tried and failed to find national libraries for the other LibraryThing employees to talk at on the same day. If you represent such a library, please contact us.
***Portland->Boston->DC->Toronto->DC->Portland. Gulp.
I'm off to Computers in Libraries in Washington, DC. LibraryThing will have a booth there, and I've giving two talks:
- Tuesday, 1:30-2:30. "Cutting Edge Leaders."* One whole hour of me, giving my general talk about what LibraryThing is and what it means, amped-up for savy CILers.
- Wednesday. 11:30-12:15. "Catalogs/OPACs for the Future," with me and Roy Tennant. I'll probably do LibraryThing for Libraries.

Bravo!! (I hope you both have planned a day off after you get back - you'll need/deserve it.)
I am so disappointed to miss you in DC. I never travel for business, but I'm traveling for business Tuesday through Thursday this week.
Oh well, at least this way you don't have to listen to me beg you for an admit to the LoC event.
Tim -- The LexisNexis booth is catty-corner from yours at booth 717. Check them out and ask about Indexing/Taxonomies. I wish I had been paying more attention; I would have tried to wrangle a trip for the convention. Maybe next year?
If only I would have known. I live here in DC and work for a bookstore (and have Archivist and Library Nerd friends). I would have loved to have attended. Poo.
Hey. They want me back at some point. I'll post about it when they do.
