Another first-timer checking in. My name is Amelia Abreu, and I’m currently an Archivist/ History Subject Specialist at University of Houston Libraries. I’m interested in digital libraries, in particular issues of access and description, so there’s a lot I’m looking forward to in the next few days. As a veteran of math archives and a bit of a history of science hobbyist, I am looking forward to Barabási’s address as well.
Finally, as a native Texan and a former Austinite, I am more than happy to point new arrivals towards the best migas, mole and barbecue in town.

This afternoon I packed my bags for my first-ever ASIS&T conference, and I’m pretty excited! I’m heading to Austin tomorrow morning–flying and staying with three other women currently in the Simmons program. I’m current vice chair of the Simmons ASIS&T Chapter and am looking forward to meeting other student chapter members and practicing librarians.
I’ve looked at the conference program several times, but as for what sessions I’ll attend, I think I’ll just see where the winds blow me. I will admit to a burning curiosity regarding SIG CON . . . something tells me that will be a fun event.

There’s a song in there somewhere…I rarely extol the virtues of a commercial airline, but not only am I able to check email and such for free from virtually anywhere in the Jet Blue terminal at JFK, I can sit next to one of many outlets on this carpeted round thing and charge up. In contrast, Boston Logan offers a $7.95 for a day’s worth of wifi…
