Blog Schedule: ALA Annual 2009
LITA Blog is looking for volunteers to blog about conference sessions and speakers, areas of interest, and general conference atmosphere.
Below you’ll find a preliminary list of programs. These are the priority coverage areas, but LITA welcomes and encourages blogging on other programs and events, as well. Please feel free to volunteer to cover items not listed here. Also, note that more than one person blogging an event is allowed and even encouraged.
Wondering what exactly is going on during each session? Visit the official LITA at Annual page or the main conference page for all ALA events to see complete descriptions.
To volunteer, sign up HERE. No experience required to blog, though we would love to see some of our experienced volunteers back again. If you have any questions, email Michele Mizejewski.

I looked at your list before the conference, but was too unsure of my schedule to sign up for any topics. I did blog on the Authority Control session, which I see you don’t have covered. I left a little early because I wanted to catch part of another session, but here’s the link to the post, and if you like what you see, then you can use it for your collection http://lumagoo.wordpress.com/2009/07/12/session-thoughts-the-future-is-now-global-authority-control/.
