missing out on the AALL conference in Seattle My biggest regret of the summer is that I’m not attending the annual meeting of the American Association of Law Libraries, which is currently taking place in Seattle as I type this. It would have killed me to go all the way to beautiful Seattle and just be in the conference venue – and not have any time (or money) to stay there a bit longer and go bushwalking (hiking). I don’t like the sort of travel that encourages people to ignore the differentness of place. And somebody had to watch the library here while most of my co-workers are away. Next year the conference is in Boston, somewhere I’ve also wanted to visit. I’ll make sure that I attend that conference and have the ability to explore that part of the world, if only a little. P.S. One of my pet peeves is that all library professional associations are named after the buildings we work in. Would it be too shocking to have an American Association of Law Librarians?
