QQML First day

Today I arrived in Limerick for QQML.  It's been a completely packed day with the keynote starting at 10.40 - I missed that - and parallel sessions starting at 12 and running through to eight, with breaks for coffee and lunch.  Pretty full on but very interesting.  Have taken lots of notes and will write up in a bit more on the libfocus blog. 

Talks today ranged from the use of focus groups in a US library to the UK DREaM project, from the development and use of methods to quantify levels of work effort to mooting a global eLibrary.  The delegate body is truly international, speakers today have come from China, Korea, Malaysia, Spain, the UK and the US.  Shared lunchtime with a Danish library manager and a Guatamalan librarian who works in Saudi Arabia.  That's only in the talks I've attended and there are 57 nationalities represented at QQML this year.  Fact.

And yes, worked out how to hook up the smartphone on the wifi network by the early hour of dinnertime ! so hope to #qqml tomorrow on twitter...
