A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2009 SCASL conference a success! The rain held off until just after we left on Friday – the power of positive thought??? : )
I heard some great feedback and suggestions at conference - if you didn’t get a chance to fill out the conference evaluation, please take a moment to fill our the survey. We can’t improve the conference without your input! Go to:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=dROTcxeMnFYbr71MR_2b2N2w_3d_3d to complete the evaluation. Keep those comments coming – how could the schedule be improved? What really worked this year? What authors/speakers would you like to see at the 2010 conference? Obviously there are some things that are beyond the steering committee’s ability to change, but we take your comments and suggestions very seriously and everyone on the committee works hard to make conference the BEST professional development for media specialists in SC!!
I’ve had some texts and emails from some of our presenters – Dianne de Las Casas shared with me that she thought this was the most enjoyable state conference she had EVER attended – I think she loved us as much as we loved her and she was very sad to leave. She will be at AASL in the fall – if you are going, keep a look out for her! If you didn’t get to see one of her sessions, you missed a treat! I’ve heard from Dan Yaccarino and Phil Bildner and they were both impressed with our membership and were glad that they had a chance to come to our conference (neither had ever attended before).
I am compiling the handouts and presentations that were submitted before conference, and we’ll be posting those soon! We did several things during conference to be able to share some of the highlights of conference with folks who couldn’t attend – be looking for more information to come!
Don’t forget to register for the Read In! You can find the application here:

Next year’s conference is in Charleston, March 10-12th, 2010. I know libraries be facing many of the same economic problems as we did this year, but I hope we’ll be able to see a great group there next year!
