Stephensshirt Originally uploaded by mbsam. They suprised me with SHIRTS! We’ll be giving away shirts and copies of OCLC’s Perceptions report at all 5 stops!!

Tonight I had dinner with some librarians (and their spouses) from SELCO. Barbara, the Multytype Librarian, Mary Beth, the Newlyminted Librarian, Aurora, SuperTurbo, Ann, who blogs at the SELCO blog, and I had a great conversation.

….you can’t get to ALA soon enough! At LISNews, Blake points to Karen’s post and says: Some interesting comments including one from David King who sums up my reason for not being part of ALA: “Honestly, one of the reasons I’m not a member of ALA is because of people like Gorman.” Check out the Librarian in Black’s thoughts and the comments as well: http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/librarianinblack/2006/05/michael_gorman_.html Steve Lawson too: http://library.coloradocollege.edu/steve/archives/2006/05/barbaric_yawp.html
