Remembering ALA 2007: Introduction
Posted by Thom on July 1, 2007
If you’ve been a regular reader of Audio Artifacts in the past, I hope you’ll continue reading for a series of posts coming up on my experiences at this year’s American Library Association conference, held in the city I live…Washington, D.C. Many other bloggers have already talked about their experiences, and it is in this esprit de corps that I offer these posts, which are really not audio-related, but relate to the larger sphere in which I work: through cataloging, music librarianship, and media archives.
I had not planned to go to conference one month ago. (Or else I would have payed a lot less). This was poor planning on my part, but with a lot of pressures and frustrations in my life, I just thought it was not important. I was wrong. The chance to attend the nation’s largest library conference is an event not to be missed. I don’t know if I will ever have the chance to go again, but it was rewarding on a number of levels.
I was not an official blogger, nor do I intend to represent any one, or any organization besides myself. It was a mini-vacation for me, but one that helped me revisit some of the lessons I learned in library school two years ago.
