(Insert my rant about an association for libraries instead of an association for librarians.) The lack of trust is hard to fight, in ALA’s case, because such a large organization can make every possible effort to be transparent and still remain incomprehensible, due to its complexity. […]

When scheduling rooms for the conferences, we need to input iMIS numbers. Where on Earth do we find them?

Actually, Library Boing Boing isn’t U.S.-centric at all. We’re already talking to folks at CILIP and IFLA about posting info about international libraries, and we’re open to collaborating with other library organizations. If you’re a member of one and would like to discuss how to get involved, feel free to email me at jlevine [at] ala.org.

Best,
Jenny

Sorry it is so U.S. centric though. Not every librarian lives in the U.S. and is a member of ALA.

Library Boing Boing is here with its inaugural post! This is something that Iâ€™m very excited about, but havenâ€™t had a chance to be as involved in as I originally would have liked (sorry Jenny and Jason). Basically, the amazing and wonderful Jenny Levine from ALA put together an opportunity to post to the great website boingboing.net using the name Librarylab. The content will be based around libraries and exposing all of the amazing things that libraries do for people on a non-library based forum (which you know I support). […]
