Online Information in London

Info pros from across Europe and parts of the rest of the globe are in London this week for the annual Online Information meeting.

This conference always offers a great program for the info pro, and this year is no exception. One session on Wednesday morning looks especially interesting.

What? You say you can't be in London at the moment. Well, not to worry. There are a couple of pretty good options for following the action from right where you sit.

Marydee Ojala, Barbara Brynko, and Dick Kaser are blogging the conference for Information Today on the InfoToday Blog.

You can follow the Twitter stream using #online09, or check out the Twapper Keeper created by Mary Ellen Bates to collect all of the #online09 Tweets in one space.

I'm going to be watching the blog and the Twitter stream to see what might be said about that Wednesday mornign session.
