Next week is going to be a busy one. It's National Library Week, Computers in Libraries takes place in Arlington, VA. and a few miles North on I-95, the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) Spring Meeting will be going on.
In the past day or so, abstracts from the many project briefings that will be presented at the meeting were placed online. Once the event is over, it's likely that materials from many of the briefings will be made available online.
Even if you can't make it, just reading the abstracts and then looking over the presentations can be both interesting, thought provoking, and an excellent way to learn about some of the work taking place around the globe.
In CNI's Words:
The meetings [two annually] are designed to explore new technologies, content, and applications; to further collaboration; to analyze technology policy issues; and to catalyze the development and deployment of new projects.
What follows is not a complete list of project briefings.
