SLA's 2008 annual conference in Seattle was a great experience -- we're delighted to have been part of it, and we are happy to share some photos of the event:

http://www.freepint.com/portal/events/sla-2008/

If you were in Seattle and haven't yet made your contribution to our SLA Special Report, you can still do so through the end of this week. Visit http://www.vivavip.com/sla/ to make your contribution -- as short or long as you like, anonymous or attributed as you prefer.

A few extracts from submissions to date:

“Was I the only one who felt at any minute someone would introduce themselves as working for Citibank or a University in NYC and then say they worked from their home in Hawaii. I felt a new current of "disconnectedness", that it no longer mattered where you live as to where you worked.”

‘the librarian has always been an agent of change -- it's time for all
librarians (no matter the title) to assert ourselves and our important skills into the fray...’

“A wonderful surprise on the last day: a wonderful talk on the American cinema during WWII. I arrived 5 minutes before the start and was lucky to get a seat. Let me just say that by this point I wasn't quite sure how I was still vertical so this talk was going to have to be something a bit special to prevent me from entering a longed-for slumber. Well, it was better than that.’ (continues – 2 paragraphs)

We look forward to receiving your contributions, too.
