I would really like to respond to this call for papers, and since abstracts aren’t due for several weeks I’m using it as a reason to do some reading and re-reading.

I have definitely hit that “what am I forgetting before ALA” mode where it is not a matter of if I forget anything, but rather how important the thing I forget will turn out to be. I am deep in the throes of preparing to present this pre-conference workshop with these awesome people while [...]
