headed to las vegas for the joint meeting of some regional medical library groups. the meeting’s theme is clever: viva librarians! there is a promise of an up-close elvis sighting at tonight’s welcome reception, so really, what could be better? i’m on the planning committee for the conference, and worked on getting exhibitors and sponsors. adam and i will be presenting a paper on our electronic journal usage statistics gathering project (summary: gathering usage stats isn’t easy, even with counter, but i’ll write more about that later). in between conferencing i’ll be gambling a chance at a megabucks progressive slot for bill.
