but frankly it’s a welcome break from the icky-sticky heat we had in Montreal last week.

i’m pretty pumped about the SLA conference since this is my first conference where i am able to say that i am a librarian! (and no, i don’t just mean that in terms of having an MLIS now - let’s not open the whole M&S can of worms again - but until now i hadn’t even worked in a library. thus MLIS + working in a library = librarian, si?)

i’m helping my aunt setup the SLA Marketplace again (her store provides all the killer books sold at the SLA) but since i am an “award winner” (note to all SLA student group presidents - recruit lotsa students, get free registration & hotel at SLA!) i can also attend all the sessions that i like (in previous year i’ve worked at the Marketplace throughout the entire conference).

i’m going to meet up with some tweeps, the LSW SLA crew, and hit up the always-a-rockin’-time Canadian reception.

i’ll blog about the fun stuff. for the more professional stuff, i’ll probably keep that at amybuckland.info - i’m testing out separating my professional online life from this blog which is a mix of LIS and other stuff.
