APLIC members attending the SLA conference in New Orleans got together for dinner, and then met up again at the International Reception. We looked good at dinner, but forgot to take a picture. We got caught in one of those famous Southern rainstorms just before the International Reception, so we don’t look quite as good, but we did finally remember to take a picture. (Nancy Minter was also at SLA but unfortunately was not available for the picture.)

In addition to the APLIC conference (my favorite, of course) I also regularly attend the much larger SLA annual conference. Because SLA is so big, I thought it might be helpful to pick out a few programs that would be of particular interest to APLIC members. If you’ve spotted a good one I missed, please add it in the comments. I’d also like to have an APLIC get-together during the conference – watch for information on the APLIC listserv.
