Internet Librarian (IL 2006) - Intro & Keynote
Internet Librarian 2006 started officially this morning with the announcement from Tom Hogan (President of Information Today), that this year's program, the 10th, for those of you who are counting, claims the largest attendance ever. As a practical matter, that means that those of us who like sitting on chairs need to get to thieir chosen program a bit earlier than usual.
The keynote speaker was J. Jance, the mystery writer. She was delightful. We laughed and we cried as she described her struggle to become a writer. She ended with a song, and even gave us an encore. It's hard to imagine just anybody pulling that off, but she did it. It was the most unique keynote I've ever attended. [pictures]

It will no doubt take me a few days to catch up on my conference blogging. If you just can't wait to get a conference fix, check out the Information Today blog, and add to your RSS aggregator a Feedster search on Internet Librarian. The free wireless in the conference center has been popular amongst the bloggers, so stuff is being posted at a fast and furious pace.
I'd love to tell you all about the sessions I attended today, but I'm fading fast, and I need to be fresh for tomorrow's program. So all I can do is promise more tomorrow.
