I’m here for the Atlantic Provinces Library Association conference where I’m presenting on social software this afternoon. It’s a quick, fly-by trip for me, so quick in fact, that the airline/airport decided I didn’t need any luggage. Oh, yes! The hilarious part is that if they can get my suitcase to me (I was told this morning that it’s in Winnipeg), it will be on the same flight in that I’m leaving on tomorrow. Did you get that? It’s coming in on the flight from Toronto that I will be leaving on for Toronto about a half hour after it lands. Awesome!

But enough of that. Here are my slides for this afternoon’s presentation, followed by a bunch of links (by way of a “handout”). The people here have been awesome, so I’m really looking forward to spending more quality time with them this afternoon, talking about libraries & social software!
