Wright Memorial LibraryOriginally uploaded by angharr88This is a beautiful library which opened in 2004. It’s spacious with lots of natural light. Plus side: office, upholstered student chairs, 8 computers plus 3 wireless laptops for students! Plus side for students…that big post in the middle of the circulation desk–I’m working right behind it!

Favorite sessions: Millennials and Information Behaviors; Jacqueline Woodson (Margaret A. Edwards Award Event); Flattening of the Web; Behind bars (collab. between libraries and juvenile corrections facilities); Madeleine Albright’s address. Off to a good start: AILA’s “I don’t know any Indians”–looking for more resources for providing better library services.Congrats, Trina! It was great seeing your picture on the Wall of Fame!Morial Center looks great–it’s still a couple of miles long! Shuttle service was excellent. Tech support perfect. “We’re jazzed to see you” welcome committee at the doors was a nice touch! Yes, you can hold a major conference in the Big Easy.
