Re: [LM_NET] AASL and conferences

Hi folks,

An alternative SUMMER national conference you may wish to attend is NECC.
This year it is San Antonio at the end of June. See
<http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2008/>

Thanks to good leadership in the SIGMS (Special Interest Group Media
Specialists), the conference has a great strand just for library media
specialists. 

Over the past few years, the entire conference has become less a "love fest
to all things that go beep" to a genuine exploration of learning.

Something to consider.

All the very best,

Doug
