Trendspotting III Postponed—Attend Social Networking Instead The CLC Database Committee has decided to postpone Trendspotting III until the spring of 2008.

Panelists John Blyberg of Darien Library will speak about "Successful Social Networking" and Kate Sheehan of Danbury Public Library will discuss uses for "LibraryThing for Libraries."

Want to Go to BEA in LA? BEA in LA? Can we do it? Remember June 2007 when three busloads of Connecticut librarians (courtesy of Holtzbrinck Publishers!) went to BookExpo America in New York? What do you think? Would 100 of us be game to fly to the City of Angels for BookExpo America on May 29 - June 1, 2008 at the LA Convention Center? BEA's Steve Rosato says that there is an option to contract with a specific airline for a deep discount, but we would need to sell 100+ tickets! Tempted? Go to www.ctlibrarians.org and sign up online to state your interest. We'll keep a rolling count of Connecticut librarians who are California Dreamin', and if there are enough of us so inclined by January 2008, we'll get serious about pursuing this option. Questions? Contact Chris Bradley at cbradley@ctlibrarians.org.
