Wine Tour Success


The Winery Tour had beautiful weather. Our short bus ride to Chateau Julien was greeted by our tour guide and glasses of wine.

Several tastes later we were driven back along 17 mile drive with stops including one at Lone Cypress.

Wonderful time had by all!

1 blogger on-board

Caroline Brown will be covering the 2006 CARL Conference on her
Labrynth Blog
http://www.labyrinths.wordpress.com

Her April 4th entry reads:
"I'm going to the California Academic and Research Libraries (CARL) Conference later this month. Two years ago I attended CLA,
but this will be my first academic library conference. I'm looking
forward to being at a smaller, more specialized conference, especially
with this year's emphasis on the use of technology for outreach and
teaching."

We'll be reading, Caroline!

AV Volunteers Needed

Planning to attend the CARL conference at Asilomar in April 2006?

I'm the audio visual coordinator for the conference. I'd love for you to consider joining my team to help out with AV needs. You do not need to be a whiz at tech stuff or have a computer science or engineering degree! A willingness on your part, a gung ho can do attitude would be fabulous and the only requirements I seek!

Helping out requires little effort on your part but it would go a long way in making sure AV stuff goes as planned with no hiccups or boo boos. Volunteers are needed to do things such as, checking that a meeting room has a microphone ready for a presenter.

Call me, email me and let's chat.

Thank you!

We all need a little pampering sometimes.

Perhaps you have been resisting the desire to attend this year's CARL Conference, to be held at Asilomar Conference Grounds from April 20-23, 2006. Located within The Monterey Bay National Wildlife Sanctuary, Asilomar offers respite from our daily routines.

( http://www.visitasilomar.com/discover/nature/sea/sanctuary.html)

Perhaps you are new to the conference circuit, new to the profession, or on course towards your MLIS. CARL would love to see you at the conference. Attending conferences is a great way for librarians to learn about new technologies, network with other librarians , and stay up-to-date on professional development. Here is a link to an article by Tanzi Merritt,
"Tips and Tricks for Conference Attendance" from LIScareer.com.
http://www.liscareer.com/merritt_conferences.htm

Perhaps you'd like to go the conference, but your personal budget won't cooperate. Here is a link to an article by Mylee Joseph, "Making a Case for Conference Attendance" from LIScareer.com
http://www.liscareer.com/joseph_conference.htm

That's all for now. See you at Asilomar!!!
