When the Atlanta conference program went to press, the speakers for the "Power to the People" session on controlled vocabularies and social tagging included Koven Smith from steve.museum. He will not be able to come to Atlanta and I have arranged with Ross Singer of Georgia Tech to be on the panel. We will hear from:
Jenn Riley, Metadata Librarian, Indiana University
http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/~jenlrile/
Lauren Cornell, Rhizome
http://www.rhizome.org/
Ross Singer, Ga. Tech
http://rsinger.library.gatech.edu/bio/
I hope you can join us for the presentations and discussion.

As I think about this panel I'm organizing and the report of the assessment task force, a social computing interest group keeps popping into my head. Social computing will not stay in nice little boxes along type of library or functional lines. A NYU Libraries colleague just got back from the Computers in Libraries conference in Arlington and she says there were lots of public library folks there. There's probably a reason for that; they're closer to a wider variety of users. Anybody else think a Social Computing Interest Group would be worthy of establishing? Or is it ubiquitous? You may remember that there used to be a Computer Section in ARLIS/NA, as recently as 1997 according to our friend Google.
