Off to Denver!
I am (over)packed for Denver. Excited about the work I will do there. Sad about the choice I had to make. Again. I tread two worlds. When I hit Philadelphia International this afternoon I expect to see friends arriving in my town for Educon 2.1. My ed tech friends, and fellow librarians, will be unconferencing here. I will keep up with them remotely through their streams and photos and chats.
In Denver I will be meeting with ALA’s OITP (Office For Information Technology Policy) Committee on America’s Libraries in the 21st Century Committee and working with the planning committee for AASL Charlotte 09. (Registration is now open!)

Monday is a big day in Denver. It could be in your library too. The Youth Media Awards (the Oscars of youth literature–including the awarding of the Caldecott, Newbery, and Printz) will be presented at 9:45 Eastern (7:45am Mountain). This year you (and your students) can view the event live via streaming video or follow the news as it is microblogged or Tweeted on Twitter.
More from Denver! Hope to see some of you there.
