Computers in Libraries Conference 2006

It's spring, and the Darien Library staff is on the road again. While several of my colleagues are in Boston at the annual Public Library Association meeting, I am in Washington, D.C., for my third year at Computers in Libraries. Described as North America's largest technology conference and exhibition for librarians and information managers, this conference covers all aspects of technology as it relates to the library world. This year's hot topics are RFID (radio frequency identification) for faster, more efficient check-in, check-out, and inventory of library materials, and RSS feeds, which enable libraries to bring news and personalized content direct to their patrons. The Darien Library, a leader in the use of library technology, is working on using both of these technologies to improve services to our patrons. Stay tuned....
