Hi everyone,
Had a busy day yesterday, attended my CE course on Evidence-based Nursing. Learned about the various ways and terms involved in evidence-based searching and got titles of some books I would like to purchase on the subject.
Then, in the afternoon visited the Art Institute of Chicago...what a beautiful building and interesting collection. The second floor's European collection was fabulous...saw works bu Renoir, Monet, Chagal....and the first floor's Oriental collection, also, was fantastic. However, I must say, I think the Academy of Arts in Honolulu has a better collection, which makes sense, considering we're closer to Asia.
The Exhibits opened last night, and the stand for next year's conference in Hawaii was looking great! The librarians from Hawaii were all there, with leis on, and got a lot of attention. The video is playing, and getting a lot of positive comments. They love it!
I wanted to attach photos, but there are only 4 computers for public use, and there's a long line behind me. I'll try to find another time when the computers are slow, or I'll send my photos when I come home.
At the first Plenary session this morning, Mark Funk, the outgoing President of MLA spoke of Web 2.0 and spoke of Web 2.0 participation by libraries using flickr, facebook, blogging, and rethinking MLA committees using Web 2.0 applications. He ended w/ comment: "my voyage to MLA 2.0 is still on its way."
Second plenary session is in about a half-hour.
Aloha,
Linda U.
