The Unofficial Guide to Annual 2008
I guess the history is that Mary Ghikas, Senior Associate Executive Director of the ALA, used to put together an informal snapshot of numbers and events for each conference as an insider’s guide for staff. But word leaked out about its usefulness, and the document would get forwarded around to Council and other groups, so now it’s become the unofficial guide to conference and we post it here for everyone, staff and members.
So without further ado, here’s Mary’s 2008 Annual Guide (175kb PDF). Give it a read-through, put it on a flash drive, download it to your laptop, print it out if you need to, but it’s one of the most helpful documents you can take with you to conference.

It is good to see this is getting a wider audience! I knew about it during the past few conferences and would coerce someone on the ALA Council list to forward it to me. It seems to have gotten a little bloated with age, but it is still a gem.
