Access recap

I am back from Access and feeling wonderful… and wonderfully exhausted.

Data and its care and feeding were the dominant themes at the conference. I strongly recommend reading the session summaries at Pete Zimmerman's blog. It's hard to pick star sessions out of so very many good ones, but the Leggott, Hartman/Phillips, Turkel, and Sadler presentations assuredly will repay attention.

I hate to say it, but blogging may continue to suffer somewhat. I have a Web 2.0 talk this Friday, a Wisconsin Library Association talk on the 21st, and I'll be doing a remote presentation for Open Access Week festivities at the University of Puerto Rico on the 23rd. I have a lot of work to do for these—translating an entire presentation into Spanish will take me some effort!
