Dear Ms. Jones,
Thank you for helping make Internet Librarian becoming such a great conference. Has the conference leadership considered adding a virtual part to this conference? I attended the SLA and ALA v-conferences this year and found them to be very valuable. It seems a natural for a Web-centric conference.
I was struck some year ago when I attended that many were already using their laptops to interact/comment. This would also help non-”local”/international information professionals participate, when getting to Monterey would be so expensive for them.
