Last year, I gave my first conference talk ever at Computers in Libraries. Since then, I&#8217;ve given around 18 talks and I have 10 talks scheduled between now and the end of June. Insane! And it all starts Friday!<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, I&#8217;ll be giving the keynote (another first!) at the <a href=\"http:\/\/perseus.bmcc.cuny.edu\/it\/techday.htm\">Borough of Manhattan Community College&#8217;s Technology Day<\/a> and will be speaking about using social software in higher education. I honestly don&#8217;t have a very clear sense of what the difference is between a regular conference talk and a keynote, but I figure if my talk is at least interesting, I&#8217;m in good shape. While in the big apple, I&#8217;m going to see my brother (whom I haven&#8217;t seen in almost 9 months) and meet his girlfriend. Hopefully I&#8217;ll get some good food too. Too bad I&#8217;ll be on the opposite side of the universe from Zabars and H&#038;H Bagels. If anyone knows of a good place to get bagels and lox in Tribecca&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The next day, I&#8217;ll be flying to Washington D.C. to go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infotoday.com\/cil2007\/default.shtml\">Computers in Libraries<\/a>. I&#8217;ll be giving one preconference and two talks there:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>April 15th @ 9:00 am &#8211; Wikis: Basics, Tools and Strategies (Preconference Workshop)<\/li>\n<li>April 16th @ 11:15 &#8211; C102: Building Collaboration, Communication and Community Online<\/li>\n<li>April 17th @ 1:30 &#8211; C203: Learning with Wikis and Blogs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ll also be signing my book at the Information Today booth on Tuesday April 17th at 5:00 pm. I believe there will be refreshments at the exhibits that evening, so if I&#8217;m not a big draw, maybe the wine and cheese will be. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the rest of my Spring\/early Summer schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>May 4, 2007, Wikis: Enabling Collaboration in Libraries, Quebec Library Association, Montreal, QC<\/li>\n<li>May 15, 2007, Building the Social Library Online, AISTI Mini-Conference, Santa Fe, NM <\/li>\n<li>May 21, 2007, Keynote &#8211; Building the Social Library Online, Annual Conference for ACRL Eastern New York, Utica, NY <\/li>\n<li>June 24, 2007 10:30-12:00, Harnessing the Hive: Social Networks and Libraries, ALA Annual, Washington, D.C.<\/li>\n<li>June 24, 2007 1:30-3:30, Finding New and Creative Solutions through Library Think Tanks, ALA Annual, Washington, D.C.<\/li>\n<li>June 25, 2007 10:30-12:00, Wiking the Blog and Walking the Dog &#8211; Social Software, Virtual Reality and Authority Everywhere, ALA Annual, Washington, D.C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the area or are attending one of these shindigs, let me know.
