I'm sure there are probably LOTS of us who would have attended if it
were held during sometime other than the school year. Even withan
extended school year there would be more of us attending if it were in
the summer. I know that part of the reason is because of ALA, but quite
frankly, after attending both, ALA is only good for the exhibits for
the majority of the "in the trenches school librarians". ALA is more
governance while AASL is professional development.
I too, would love to have access to the handouts. I thought we were a
sharing community of educators.
