Sigh. I'm not surprised but not thrilled to see that this LIS educator isn't even aware that the Library Leadership Network, with 12 books' worth of good advice, exists--much less citing it. - Walt Crawford

Back home after a wonderful ASIST 2009 conference and 2-day train ride home.
Vancouver, BC has been lovely but we leave in the morning.
I don't feed my tweets in here but if you are interested in what I tweet from ASIS&T 2009 you can follow me at mrlindner. Am using #asist09 although seems to be several #hashtags in use.
At ASIST 2009 in Vancouver 2009. Today (Sat.) is the 20th SIG-Classification Research Workshop: Bridging Worlds, Connecting People: Classification Transcending Boundaries.
