I agree! There are so many conferences that are held during the school year when things are really hectic and time-off isn't always an option. I LOVE the AASL conferences that are held, but I know that if I go to one in the middle of the year, then I will have to give up a technology conference or a state library conference later in the spring. While the other ALA conferences are important, I do agree that the conference that provides me with the most inspiration to work on new ideas, new projects, or new concepts is the AASL conferences. They meet my specific needs SO well...and yet, only a certain few are often allowed to attend (because I've missed great friends that I know SHOULD be there when I've attended...but couldn't come because of their work assignments / teaching). We're free during the summer and by July, I'm refreshed and ready to get started again. I'd much rather spend my time getting new ideas to take back to school in the fall than worrying about what I'll face when I leave in the middle of the second month of school because I left for a conference. The timing of this conference just doesn't work well for some of us in "the real world" (i.e., the trenches) of school librarianship. Just a thought. ~Shonda -- Shonda Brisco, BA Ed., MLIS Library Media / Technology Specialist Weatherford, TX 76086 Digital Bookends wiki / blog: http://digitalbookends.pbwiki.com http://shonda.edublogs.org/ sbrisco@gmail.com Resources for Texas School Librarians: http://txschoollibrarians.ning.com/ http://txschoollibrarians.wikispaces.com/ "Digital Resources" columnist School Library Journal -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
