I’m sure there
were some great papers at the AASLH conference, but I spent
my time in the exhibit hall. Most people wander through at some point, and I
had the unexpected pleasure
of meetings some old friends.
So rather than
talk about papers I’ll talk about neighbors! I’ve been following the work of
Eduweb
for years and
they’ve done some great stuff. One of
the great things they been doing is putting some resources into finding out
what works. Check out the research papers at their site.
Opposite me was The Museum Bookmark Collection. Their graphics
and production quality were great. So good in fact that while I chatted across
the room someone came up to my booth, ignored my material, and took the sample
bookmarks I’d collected earlier!
Kapesni is on a
mission to get mobile apps everywhere, and they have a very competitive pricing
model. I think the current app is for iPhone with the Android app coming in a September.
Around the corner was
Re:discovery (where I worked for many years). Rediscovery
is providing the back end of the upcoming NPS web catalog site which is getting
some early testing. I’m very excited by the progress and early reactions. Plus
they have an updated version of their archaeology module which is hierarchical,
content rich and full of features.
Thanks to everyone
that stopped by and chatted!
