Joy had a presentation that went well, not that that surprises me.
I only wanted to add a Point the Fourth to her three: you should present at a conference while you’re an LIS graduate student. Presentation is a vitally important job skill, and getting your name and face out in front of people never, ever hurts.
Frankly, I find presenting far easier than a lot of the other stuff that comes under the heading of “networking,” and it works just about as well, as far as I can tell.
So do it. Present. It won’t kill you, and it’ll make you stronger.
By the way, I know it’s been quiet around here lately. Combination of work weirdness (that very definitely needs to stay off-blog, but it’s nothing that directly harms me, so nobody should worry on my account) and work for a TAG client eating up huge chunks of my time at home.
