This text documents my experiences at Access 2002 in
Windsor, Ontario, October 21-23, 2002. The annual Access
conference is Canadian in bent and brings together the more
computer technologically minded people from all types of
libraries -- academic, public, government, etc.
This was the third time I've attended an Access conference,
but the first time I was in Windsor. More hands-on and
practical, less theoretical and scientific than the last
conference I attended, the Access conferences have always
been focused and sans concurrent sessions. This allows
everybody to see and hear everything. Consequently, by the
third day themes emerge allowing for lively discussion. The
themes I heard the most surrounded XML, open source, and
catalogs & cataloging. I think everybody should attend at
least once Access conference if it is possible. They provide an
overview of what is happening in libraries when it comes to
computer technology.
