Live-blogging ALA Annual in Chicago

For the next week, I'll be in Chicago for the 2013 ALA Annual Conference. I've really been looking forward to everything on my schedule for the conference: poster and program sessions sure to share new ideas, my own presentations, Newbery Committee meetings, the exhibits... and, of course, spending time with old and new friends.

I will be live-blogging from the conference over at the ALSC Blog along with a host of other terrific librarians who will be in Chicago. Can you not attend the conference, but you want to know what's going on from a youth services librarian perspective? Or, perhaps, you will be there, but you want to hear about sessions you couldn't cram into your schedule. Just head over to the ALSC Blog throughout the duration of the conference for insightful updates from attendees and to read about what's happening in Chicago. You can also follow the conference hashtag (#ala2013) on Twitter (and Facebook, too, I guess? Because that's a thing now).

I probably won't be back on this blog until after the conference--all my blogging efforts will be focused on live-blogging at the ALSC Blog--but you can expect some recaps of the conference later next week when everything has had time to stew in my brain for a bit. Until then, happy conferencing!
