I have been working since November to make HigherEd BlogCon a success. And whatdayaknow? I get the flu, just as the Library and Information Resources week begins. I have been feeling hella-bad since Monday and although I’m definitely a lot better, I’m still only at the level of having a really<\/em> bad cold. So as a result, I have not been able to do much more than post the presentations and sleep. <\/p>\n

But in spite of my almost complete lack of involvement this week, HigherEd BlogCon has been really amazing! We had some tremendous content this week<\/a>. From narrative presentations, to blog presenstations, to podcasts and screencasts. From think pieces, to discussions of specific applications, to how-to’s. And the beauty of it is that even if you didn’t have time to look at all of the presentations this week, you can still look at them a week from now or a month from now or even further down the road than that! This is the beauty of an online conference where everything is archived. Just visit the HigherEd BlogCon blog<\/a> any time and you will be able to enjoy some of these truly thought-provoking presentations. <\/p>\n

Update:<\/b> I have learned of one casualty of my fluishness. My apologies to John Blyberg<\/a> for not putting his name and affiliation on his incredible<\/em> presentation<\/a>. It’s fixed now. Thanks Jessamyn<\/a> for brining it to our attention.<\/p>\n

Here are links to all of the presentations. I hope you’ll take a look and add to the conversations already going on there. The presenters are happy to answer any and all questions about their presentations.<\/p>\n
