My plans for blogging here have not taken off as I had hoped, mostly because I have been very busy with projects at work and with wrapping up my coursework for the semester.

One of the other things I have been busy with is organizing the Access 2012 conference, which we’ll be hosting here in Montreal in October. Access is the major library tech conference in Canada, and hosting it is a great honour and an even bigger job!

The theme we’ve chosen for this year is Discovery, which we are hoping will cover everything from the obvious work being done by folks choosing, developing, and implementing discovery layers, to discovery in a more general sense, new ideas, phenomena, or threats discovered.

The call for proposals is in the home stretch, so if you have a discovery you would like to share, please let us know!
