My wife just called me from home. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that I got a grant from NEKLS to attend Internet Librarian ’06. Which is really really really good news.
The bad news is that the grant is for half of what I need to go to the conference. And because of circumstances beyond our control, my wife and I don’t have the money to make up the other half. Neither does my library.
So, at this point, it looks like I’m not going to Internet Librarian ’06.
There’s always next year.
Oh, that’s terrible! I’m still trying to make the case to my library that I need to go. (That’s right, “need”… not want.) It probably won’t happen, though, unless I give up going to Computers in Libraries next year, which isn’t something I want to do. So while all the cool kids go to IL we can comment on each other’s blogs from afar.
Actually, I may have been premature in posting that I can’t go. I’ll update soon about this.
