Re: ALA Conf?/NY area people

Esther,
    The Long Island RR has various stops in NYC. One is in Jamaica,
Queens, and another is in Penn Station, a long hop, skip and jump
from the Javits Center. The phone number for the LIRR is: (718) 217-
5477. Different lines of the LIRR end in different places, so the
LIRR might be your best bet for information.

Here are two websites with information for ALA goers, the first is
run by ALA and is at http://www.alanyc.org and the other is run by
H.W. Wilson and is at http://www.hwwilson.com/newyork.html and both
sites have links to each other. The ALA site has more links, while
the Wilson site has more short descriptions of places in NYC.

See you in New York,
