Darla, I'd not let being a school librarian stop you. Your perspective could be a valuable addition to the meeting. I've not been able to attend this conference but I think, from the weblog, that it is for the more tech savvy. Not an introduction to the topic, more hands-on. If you have been following the weblog and feel comfortable with the posts and the sessions look interesting, go for it. There is a very good group of folks involved. Georgia at the end of Feb. would be a nice change from the winter in Alaska. There is a good deal of overlap with the Canadian Access Conference. Listen to the podcasts from that meeting. If they are interesting and what you are looking for Code4lib should also be a good match. http://www.access2006.uottawa.ca/?page_id=10 If you are looking for an introduction and overview, maybe Computers in Libraries would be an option. I highly recommend the LITA National Forums, but they happen in the Fall.

The 1 year anniversary of the LPI library podcast has just passed. -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Darla Grediagin Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 3:18 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4lib 2007 Registration Open Do many school librarians go to this conference. I have a scholarship to attend a conference in the Spring of 2007. I am getting more and more interested in the technology side of library. I have just helped with the installation of Koha for our library circulation/catalog program. I am trying to feel out whether this would be the conference to choose. Thanks Darla
