11:40: Scott seems to have a very large presence online, you might want to check out his site, Board Games With Scott, as well as his podcast, On Board Games.

11:35: Scott Nicholson has started his presentation about gaming in libraries. He’s mentioned his blog a few times, which you can find here.

www.hurstassociates.com
www.digitization101.com
www.enetworking101.com

10:52: Here’s the Wikipedia entry for OAIS that Jill referred to. And yes, we all do use Wikipedia! As a side note, did you know that Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales was born and raised in Huntsville?

10:32: Jill Hurst-Wahl is now speaking, telling the audience about trends in e-Repositories. Some of the ideas of digital archives include news making concepts such as Google Books, which attempt to create a “digital backup” of knowledge.

The Gaming talk was interesting, showing what a different world it is now than it was just 10 years ago. It seems that modern gaming is where a lot of business talks that used to take place on golf courses and bowling alleys now take place online.

The conference was really well-rounded with topics and I enjoyed all the speaker’s presentations.

Looking forward to next year!

My presentation from Friday morning is available online at:

Likely I didn’t leave it up long enough for people to write down (sorry).
