I love being a mom, but this month, not so much. My daughter’s high school graduation ceremony – held in D.C.’s Constitution Hall in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) headquarters – falls on the last day of the Special Libraries Association’s (SLA) annual conference in Seattle.

Hardly Sophie’s choice, but still unsettling – I’d been looking forward to meeting some CEA member-company librarians and seeing the keynote speakers Vinton Cerf and Seth Godin.

What makes missing the conference bearable? The Web of course. It offers a virtual show via wikis, blogs, podcasts and other Web 2.0 marvels that my SLA membership provides.

And it goes without saying that CEA and International CES also offer a host of audio and video feeds, webcasts and event archives.

Try them out. But don’t tell me about it until AFTER fellow CEA librarians Angela Titone and Rick Kowalski have come back to the office, mollifying Seattle coffee gift in hand, as thanks for holding down the fort this week.
