Martha Yee and Ed Jones gave a talk at the ALA Midwinter conference a week ago, on 14 January. The ALA’s Metadata blog blogged the talk with some copious notes and Yee put up PowerPoint slides on her site: Martha Yee’s slides (182 KB PPT) and Ed Jones’s slides (118 KB PPT).
As you’d expect from these two, very interesting stuff. I wish the talk had been recorded. I’d love to hear it.
