Highlights From Internet Librarian 2021
|
|
by Sophia Guevara
|
|
I had the opportunity to both present at and attend Information Today, Inc.'s 2021 Internet Librarian Connect conference, which was held virtually Oct. 26–28. As a presenter, I was able to attend the conference for free and see much of the work that went on behind the scenes, including recording my session on Zoom and participating in a preconference technology check. There was much hard work put into the event to ensure that attendees were able to gain value from the online experience. For those who are unfamiliar with the conference, Internet Librarian describes itself as for librarians and information professionals of all types and from all settings.

Last Seen in Sea Isle
by Jane Kelly (A Meg Daniels Mystery, #7)
Meg Daniels should know by now that wherever she goes, mystery follows. Her fiancé is taking classes at Stockton University and has befriended Grace Grant, a fellow later-in-life student. Under false pretenses, Grace asks Meg to visit her lavish beachfront house in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, on the same weekend she’s hosting a reunion of pals from the summer of 1969. Meg discovers that Grace is hoping she’ll track down Guy—last name unknown—who disappeared from Grace’s life on the day of the moon landing.
