KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Walt Crawford:
"DVD & Video Media (past, present, future): Technology &Copyright Issues: An Informal Discussion",
&"First Have Something to Say: Writing & Speaking for Librarians".I've posted my "speaking notes" for the keynote and the DVD session on my Web site, NOT referenced from my home page. Not pretty--I just used Word XP's "save as HTML/filtered" output--but readable. I'll leave them there until at least the end of April.
The addresses are:http://walt.crawford.home.att.net/aklakey.htm
and
http://walt.crawford.home.att.net/akladvd.htm
[Since my "speaking notes" for "First Have Something to Say" were entirely from the draft manuscript for my book, which should be out in June, I'm not posting those. However, I plan to include a few chapters of the book in issues of Cites & Insights, by agreement with ALA Editions, beginning right around the time the book comes out.]
Cheers,
walt crawford
