Top 10 Patron Pet Peeves

Here is a great blog post by Brian Herzog on his blog Swiss Army Librarian.

There are a lot of great library blogs out there. Take advantage of what seasoned librarians already know. We'll try to build a great list of blogs to reference to. Please share any you love to read in the comments.

This blog post was brought to my attention through the latest issue of American Libraries Direct. Student members also receive a Student edition in their email. Join ALA to receive these publications yourself!

ALA Virtual Conference

If you're interested in attending ALA annual but can't go to Chicago take a look at ALA's Virtual Conference. Information can be found here:

It's great that ALA is using internet technology to bring Annual to more members. The registration fee is $120 for students but keep in mind that registering for the actual conference and traveling to Chicago would be much higher.

Join ALA today to take advantage of these kinds of benefits! Leave a comment if you want more information.
