President's Column

摘要

I write my final President's column a month after the Midwinter Meeting in Seattle. You will read it as preparations for the ALA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. are well underway. Despite that disconnect in time, I am confident that the level of enthusiasm will continue uninterrupted between the two events. Indeed, the Midwinter Meeting was highly charged with positive energy and excitement. The feelings are reignited if you listen to the numerous podcasts now found on the LITA blog. The LITA bloggers and podcasters were omnipresent reporting on all of the meetings and recording the musings of the LITA Top Tech Trendsters. By the time you have read this you will have also, hopefully, cast your ballot for LITA officers and directors after having had the opportunity to listen to brief podcast interviews with the candidates. The LITA Board approved the election pod-casts at the Annual Conference in New Orleans. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the nominating committee and the BIGWIG members, we have this new input into our voting decision-making.
