There were a fair number of questions after the session, and some great comments too. Including one from Dan Askey, from Kansas State, who blogged my session and said enough to tweak the interest of the Endeca folks, who emailed me and asked to chat more about my ideas and why our users are not all over the facets in our catalogue. Cool, huh? Dan blogged about it here and Jessamyn (who was there and did a brilliant keynote) picked it up here.

Thanks to CJ for sharing the info on Kansas projects. Kansas also seems to be pretty involved in Second Life. Good to see what different states are doing.

I wish librarian.net were required reading for my library. We as a library don't spend nearly enough time looking beyond our own walls. Hope you got to see something of Victoria. Went sea kayaking today under pristine blue skies. One could get spoiled here. All conferences should be held in places like this. Hey, many thanks for reading our blogs and giving them some love.

It is interesting to see what these libraries have done - check the roll of KLOW Libraries http://www.mykansaslibrary.org/. The other is that the Central Kansas Library System has just chosen to implement a hosted version of Koha for their member libraries (look for the CKLS' Regional Library Automation Project on the web site). The grant application on the CKLS site is very interesting reading as Koha was not only cheaper for up front conversion costs and ongoing support costs as provided by LibLime, but also very handily beat the proprietary ILS vendor in features according to the ratings given by the various 30+ libraries involved in the project.
