The Milwaukee Zine Librarians (un)Conference was a great time, and I left it feeling like I had lots to do and many ways to help the cause. My favorite thing about this conference is that it is a library conference that isn't populated wholly by MLS'ed folks, and that all the things we talk about building (catalogs, websites, etc.) have to work for collections in living rooms and garden sheds as well as gigantic/overwhelming institutions.
This year I was impressed that we busted out Zine Core, I was intensely happy to return to Wisconsin and see the headquarters of QZAP, the Zine Mobile, and happy to leave with a project (to help makeover zinelibraries.info and increase the ways that we all share documentation).
I didn't take many notes, but there are a lot up at the MKEZL(u)C site.
Somehow I never put these up earlier this Spring. I think I was attempting to learn to install Drupal and typing notes at the same time. Without further delay, a few notes that barely begin to encompass all of the wonderful things we talked about at the Zine Librarian (un)Conference in Seattle, WA, March 2009.
More notes from all of the sessions are available on the wiki: http://seattle-zine-unconference.wikispaces.com/Notes+from+sessions
