Access Copyright's “Captain Copyright” campaign raised some hackles at CLA and had a few of us subverting the promotional materials that Access Copyright had at their booth by modifying the stickers they were giving out… For anyone who doesn't know, Captain Copyright is a character created by Access Copyright to promote copyright to students and […]

Am I ever going to do a post where I'm happy about something instead of suggesting how to change and improve it? (Probably not…) Obviously these suggestions come heavily from the perspective of a student and a first-time CLA attendee. Twelve Ways To Improve The CLA Conference1. Don't charge students to attend 2. Don't have […]
Here's the report that a couple classmates sent to our class listserv with their take on the CLA conference… —The good:The 2 best presentations we saw were on Thursday, one on recruitment in Academic Libraries, and the other was a debate on whether we as librarians have made ourselves obsolete over the past decade.

Shea had the camera while being a tourist (and we didn't think to take our old-fashioned film camera which still needs to have its current roll finished) so I didn't take as many shots at CLA as I normally would have.

I meant to post yesterday but the fact that we're staying at a residence. On campus. In the year 2006. And it still doesn't have ANY Internet connection fuddled those plans. So I'm probably going to change the date stamp on this entry so it counts as yesterday. And then my next blog post will […]
Turn around twice and after two days in Toronto, I'm off to Ottawa for the Canadian Library Association conference. I'm taking my laptop but not sure what the Internet situation will be like where we're staying so new blog posts may be sporadic until next week. The timing couldn't have been better – the one […]
