<p>Hi everyone!! So, like Karl, I was recently asked to write a post on another blog (<ahref="http://www.mnh.si.edu/rc/fieldbooks/"target="_blank">The Smithsonian Field book Project blog!</a>) and thought, instead of rewriting the whole post and publishing it here, I could just point our lovely readers in the right direction!</p>

<h2class="blog-post-title">code4Lib 2015!</h2>

<p>Hi everyone, this is Vicky reporting from Portland, Oregon! I am here on the west coast for the first time attending <ahref="http://code4lib.org/conference/2015/"target="_blank">code4Lib 2015</a>, and since today is the last day of the conference, I thought I’d give everyone a bit of a report about what went on here.</p>
<p>First, I want to talk about the format of presentations at code4Lib. It’s absolutely unlike any other conference I’ve ever been too. There are no multiple sessions going at once. Everything is streamlined into one room. Yes--we sat in a room from 9-5pm watching 20 minute presentations, with an hour for lunch and two to three half hour breaks. This sounds really daunting but I have to tell you--it was so refreshing! I’ll talk a little bit more about the actual presentations later on.</p>

<h2class="blog-post-title">Library Advocacy</h2>
<pclass="blog-post-meta">January 14, 2015 by <ahref="../../about.html">Vicky Steeves</a> for the NDSR-NY Residents' Blog. <ahref="http://ndsr.nycdigital.org/library-advocacy/">See original posting here.</a></p>
<p>Everyone reading my posts must be saying, “Damn, this girl is obsessed with proving the value of the library! We get it already!” Blame <ahref="http://www.simmons.edu/slis/faculty/fulltime/matarazzo.php"target="_blank">Jim Matarazzo</a>, my corporate libraries professor back at <ahref="http://www.simmons.edu/slis/"target="_blank">Simmons</a>. He really drilled it into my head that if a library can’t prove that it’s worth having, it will be the first thing cut from a budget. And it scared me into constantly thinking about it. Thanks, Jim!</p>
