ALA 2010 Preliminary Schedule

Away, away, to ALA… I have attended all but three of the combined Midwinter and Annual conferences since January 1992, and I know one thing for sure: there is no “final schedule” for me–it evolves throughout the conference! I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with friends, colleagues, and vendors, and bouncing along with the whole ALA kabobble.

I should probably squeeze in a little more ACRL activity–suggestions for this division (and anything else) welcome.
