I had a nice, sparse, mellow speaking schedule all set for Fall, and then I got a few offers I couldn’t refuse, which turned my Fall into another disaster. Add to that the fact that I’ll be developing a semester-long online course at the same time and teaching two sections of my InfoPeople course<\/a> (they haven’t listed the second section yet) from August to early October, and you have one busy bee. So if I don’t blog as much or answer e-mails as much over the coming months, you’ll know why.<\/p>\n

I’m sure you can guess which one of those talks I’m most excited about. I lived in Denmark for a year while in college, and I haven’t been back in nine years. Adam’s coming with me and we’re spending a whole week in Copenhagen, seeing the sights and catching up with some of my old friends who haven’t seen me since I was 21 (eeek!). <\/p>\n

I’m hoping to still have a bit of time this Fall for apple-picking and enjoying the beautiful foliage. My Director suggested that I cut down on taking time away from work for speaking (she told me this after the commitments I’d already made here plus 2 more in ’08), so other than ALA Midwinter and the OLA Superconference, I may not be doing anything else in the Winter and Spring. It’s certainly not a bad idea to have a break from all this imposed on me. I’ve been really running around like a crazy person over the past two years and I must admit that it’s been exhausting. Fun, definitely, but exhausting. I have a feeling the online course I’ll be teaching (plus my regular full-time job) will keep me busy enough. <\/p>\n

I’m definitely looking forward to meeting lots of new people at these conferences and learning about how other libraries are currently using social technologies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
