Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 13:13:36 -0400 Hi all, This year AJL will be experimenting with a fun new venture - a convention blog! Thanks to Ann Abrams and Heidi Estrin, we safranim will have another avenue of communication and collaboration.
For those of you not familiar with "blogs" - this will be an online bulletin board and discussion forum for anyone interested in the convention (whether attending or not) Check it out at: http://jewishlibrariesconf06.blogspot.com/ I'll be posting my impressions of meetings, speakers, networking, food, touring and anything else convention-related that comes up. If you are not able to attend the convention, this should give you a taste of what it's like and an opportunity to chime in on the discussions. If you are attending, I invite you to participate by: 1. being a 'regular' poster (e-mail me and I'll set you up) 2. being a one-time or occasion poster (e-mail a message to me and I'll post it for you) 3. commenting on any of the posts, give different perspectives, start discussions! (just click on the comment link on the blog and enter your comments) To get us started - I would love it if the Boston locals or Boston fans would give ideas to those of us coming into the area on fun places to tour, eat, hike, shop etc. If you would like to get the blog in the comfort of your own e-mail system - you can subscribe to it. Look at the bottom of the right column of the blog for instructions. Kol tuv! Sheryl Sheryl F.
