Hi! I'm Sarah Clark, Access Services and Distance Learning Librarian at Rogers State University in beautiful Claremore, OK. This is my first time at IL, and I'm looking forward to it! Tentatively I plan to blog this conference from the newbie perspective at my site, The Scattered Librarian.
My big goals are to network and put faces to all of the names I swap blog comments with, and also to pick up some good ideas to implement in our library's upcoming (and desperately needed!) website overhaul, which is happening simultaneously with our migration to the Sirsi Unicorn ILS and ramping up as a new US selective government Depository (yes, we're just a little busy!).
In addition, I'm looking at starting a side business as an independent research consultant in the next 6-12 months, and I'm hoping to meet up with (and pick the brains of) other librarians who have made the leap into entrepreneurship. I'm doing dine-arounds most evenings, but have kept lunches clear for people I may meet during the conference (or just to go veg out for an hour!) Thanks so much!
