CIL 2007

I am currently in Arlington, Virgina attending the Computers in Libraries Conference. It is in it’s 22 year and has the most attendees this year than any previous conference. So far most of the sessions have been interesting, and a few inspiring! Regardless, all of this is tainted by the events yesterday at Virginia Tech. I know a few librarians who work there and read in a report from the Roanoke Times that Newman Library became a temporary shelter while the campus was on lock down and can only imagine the worry and fear everyone was experiencing. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to everyone involved and the families who have been affected by this senseless tragedy.
