Library Tech Summit in Denver

I'm on the road again, this time to attend IUG 2006 in Denver. IUG stands for Innovative Users Group, a large, active group of librarians and non-librarian techies who all work with integrated systems designed and supported by Innovative Interfaces, a California-based company. Having been to Denver last as a young child, I did not remember the bigger-than-life nature of all things Denver--the thoroughfares, the buildings, the people. After all the rain we've had in Connecticut, I didn't mind the dryness, but the hotter-than-normal temperatures did not quite coincide with my mountain wardrobe! With over 1600 attendees, IUG 2006 was bigger-than-life, too! Over the weekend, I attended over a dozen sessions, chatted with lots of library vendors, and spent time reviewing poster presentations from libraries throughout the country. Within the next year, you'll see many enhancements to our online catalog, including the use of RSS feeds to provide regular news about authors, books, library events, and more. I'm excited! Now, if my plane would just arrive from Sacramento....
