I’m amazed! I started a group on Facebook yesterday morning for Computers in Libraries 2008, April 7-9, Crystal City Hyatt whose theme is Innovative Change: Integrating High Tech with High Touch. The group is for anyone on Facebook who:
* uses technolgy in libraries or information services
* loves to create innovative products & services for information discovery, or who wants to see what’s happening in this space & track trends
* has attended or wants to attend a Computers in Libraries conference
* has spoken at or wants to speak at a Computers in Libraries conference
I invited some people to join the group and by last evening there were 53 people (58 now) in the group — in one day! It remined me of the Computers in Libraries 2006 wiki which Meredith Farkas started before the conference — it grew so quickly, so organically. Amazing. And so is Facebook! I also started a discussion in the group about topics of interest for the conference, and a number of people have already chimed in with ideas. I love Facebook.
