A report from the Reference Renaissance

I just returned from Reference Renaissance in Denver.  I learned all kinds of
great things about virtual reference, library 2.0, reference with international
patrons, and reference outside of the library.  I'm overflowing with ideas and
renewed energy.  The best part, though, was the librarians themselves.  It was
amazing to be in a room with 500 other people who are looking at the same issues
that I work with everyday at Manhattan Public Library.  

  I also realized that librarians are really nice people.  There was no posturing or
politics.  There was a universal feeling of "Sure this seat is open.  Where are
you from and what is happening at your library?"  I met amazing people that
confirmed my career choice.
