Today I attended the Kentucky SOLINET Users Group (KSUG)/Kentucky Virtual Library Users Group (VLUG) Joint Conference (conference link is .pdf).

It involved the business meetings of the two sponsoring groups, updates from some relevant organizations, and breakout afternoon sessions. I attended a session covering new databases offered by the Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL).

Not super-educational overall, but if I learned anything today, it’s that I’m not particularly adept at networking. Granted, I’m not feeling particularly well and am not my usual outgoing self. Nevertheless, I wasn’t really feeling any connection to the other attendees or much compulsion to forge those connections. I did meet a few interesting folks, but couldn’t muster the determination to engage some of the bigwigs in attendance (such as the State Librarian).

Oh, and tomorrow is our dreaded summer reading kickoff and I have the privilege of being supervisor all day long. Joy.
