American Library Association goes Disney
Thousands upon thousands of librarians–public, academic, special collections, and more–will be converging on Anaheim this weekend for the American Library Association’s annual convention. I will be attending for the first time and hope to post some of my observations and notes here, if not during the convention, then afterward. Since I did not enter academic librarianship through the conventional route (i.e., I have a subject Ph.D. rather than a library degree), this will be something of a cultural immersion experience for me. And since I have never had the pleasure of visiting Disneyland (or Disney anything, for that matter), this will also be a cultural experience of a different sort, I expect.
