Back from Computers in Libraries 2008

I am back from Computers in Libraries 2008 and I must say we (my wife and I) had a wonderful time. The conference was fantastic and much bigger than I had imagined. The only disappointment was that I had intended to blog about my sessions each evening after we returned to the hotel but the hotel wireless failed me. Therefore I intend to post some info on my experiences over the next week or so. My postings will cover some general aspects of the conference as well as the sessions I attended. Future posts should be as follows:

• Riding the Rails - Amtrak to DC and Back
