    ALA 2008

    http://www.daveyp.com/blog/index.php/archives/315/

    is doing a fantastic job of blogging ALA 2008. I've been pondering trying to organise a UK library unconference for a while now, but haven't progressed it any further than the "pipe dream" stage. I wonder if I could persuade Kathryn Greenhill to immigrate to the UK? ;-) Anyway, if a UK library unconference/barcamp/hackfest style event is of interest to you, make sure you leave a comment on Owen's "Mashed Libraries?

Addig két frankó cucc a hétvégére: A libpunk-téma teljesen komolyan van gondolva, már lehet shoppingolni, van póló, bögre, kitűző, táska és matrica, a cafépressen lehet vásárolni.
