HigherEd BlogCon is on the way!
By Meredith Farkas | March 17, 2006
In just a couple of weeks, HigherEd BlogCon will be starting! It will be going on all month on the HigherEd BlogCon blog and through several Webcasts. I encourage all of you to visit the HigherEd BlogCon blog and to subscribe to our RSS feed so you won’t miss any of the terrific presentations that will be appearing there throughout the month.
The programs for all of the tracks are up on the blog, but I thought I’d put up the Library and Information Resources Program up here for you all to check out. We have some amazing people who are going to be presenting including 2006 Library Journal Mover and Shaker John Blyberg and a whole slew of notable library bloggers. They are developing some pretty creative presentations and are taking advantage of lots of different kinds of social media out there to make it happen. Check it out!

Bah. I feel so terribly straitlaced and Library 1.0. I hope you’re not going to track downloads, because then I will just have to go and be sad because everybody else’s will get read/listened to so much more than mine!

How are you straightlaced, silly? I think open access is something most “2.0 librarians” don’t know the first thing about! It’s a terrific topic and probably the one I will personally learn the most from, being pretty ignorant about open access myself.
