Back to reality

I have blogged my journal entries from the Sante Fe trip below. I had a wonderful time and discovered many new interests. I made new friends, spent time with relatives, spent lots of money on overpriced tourist items and went hiking up cliffs in work shoes (I was unaware of how extensive this activity was going to be at the time). I also had a very nice hotel room all to myself with cable t.v. and access to a hot tub. What more can I say. The drive back to Bartlesville was a painful experience back to reality.
I’ve spent the last week or so finishing up the homework. Everything is due this Monday, which also happens to be the first day of Fall classes. I’ve chosen to do my paper on language preservation in tribal communities, specifically the use of computer assisted language preservation programs in tribal libraries. Below are some of the websites I’ve been using in my research.

Library Services to Indigenous Populations
Native American Languages of America
Native American Libraries and Resources
Webjunction
William Yardley
NITI
Outside the Box
New Mexico Tribal Libraries: Bridging the Digital Divide
SEDL
