I wasn't able to go this year and would love to see it available for those who were either turned away or not there. I would hope that the next ALA, they would record the sessions.

For those who missed it mark your calendars for next year annual- Monday morning 10:30am. It is a great event that I have attended since 1995. Over the years the book award winners often mentioned how they used the library to find out about themselves and read books about being GLBT person and thanked us for being there. Barbara Gittings did the same thing when she was in college but back then the books were not so plentiful or very helpful. The Stonewall Book Awards are her legacy and the GLBTRT is there to make sure those books are in the library for the next generation of knowledge seekers. So when do I get a copy of the picture you took that morning ? KGS,

Chaucer is currently gazing down at the booktruck. Imagine Chaucer shelving... I caught myself re-reading my post and idly thinking, "Wait, isn't that spelled 'cheeze'?"

I missed the booktruck. And as a fan of carefully selected quality SWAG, I am mad about that. My favorite this year was the Chaucer bobble head from Greenwood and the little 52 blue Chevy pickup from Heely. Great blog, btw. And I hope you get gainful library employment soon. Great ALA top ten.

It had a special banner overhead and was an open area with some spin the wheel thingie. It actually worked much better than in past years when the division desks/tables/booths were stuck in a corner of the exhibits, or scattered all over the exhibit hall, or somewhere else in the convention center all together... Kudos to ALA for trying something different. When I was there, there was actually a fair amount of traffic.
