Off to ALA

For more than ten years, I have been avoiding the annual meeting of the American Library Association. It is huge, over done and over scheduled. However, time has finally caught up with me and I am going this year. To New Orleans. For the first really big convention to be in the city since Katrina. Attendance often tops 15,000 librarians.

I suspect that this is going to be a huge fiasco and that the city is in no way prepared to handle this many people. I would like to be wrong, but stay tuned.

More when I get back.
