Call me corny, but every time I attend an SLA annual conference, I feel like I am witnessing a little piece of the history of the information profession. This year, as we celebrate the Centennial, that will quite literally be true!
But there is much more. For instance, I just learned that a representative of Google will present at SLA’s Public Policy Update session on Tuesday to discuss—and hear your views about—the Google Book Settlement.
At the opening session, I am looking forward to witnessing the presentation of the very first SLA Rising Star awards, which recognize new members who show exceptional promise of leadership and contribution to the association and profession.
Those, of course, are things that are planned. I am confident that there will be a few historic surprises, too—there always seem to be. Stay tuned! Better yet, be there.
