ALAC_050627_54.JPG: Ah yes... The picture that got me in trouble with the Fonz! Being a photo nut, I volunteered to take pictures of anyone who'd forgotten their camera. It doesn't cost me anything so I never charge for a picture. Anyway, I took this person's picture with him and he calls me over. I'm thinking he'd like me to take a picture of him with someone special. Instead, he politely says that he'd prefer it if I didn't take any pictures of people who hadn't waited in line for that. He then turns to the autograph line and says "What do you think? Is it okay to prevent people from cutting in line to get their picture taken?" I had had to go back to the booth to get some business cards to hand out for contact information and I hadn't realized she hadn't waited in the line. An honest mistake on my part and politely handled on his but I sheepishly left after that moment.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Library Association (ALA) is a group based in the United States that promotes libraries and library education internationally. It is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with approximately 64,600 members. Founded in 1876 in Philadelphia and chartered in 1879 in Massachusetts, its head office is now in Chicago. Since 2002, Keith Michael Fiels has been the ALA executive director (CEO).
The stated mission of the ALA is "to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all." ALA membership is open to any person or organization, though most of its members are libraries or librarians. As well, most members live and work in the United States, with international members comprising 3.5% of total membership.
The ALA is governed by an elected council and an executive board. Policies and programs are administered by various committees and round tables. One of the organization's most visible tasks is overseen by the Office for Accreditation, which formally reviews and authorizes American and Canadian academic institutions that offer degree programs in library and information science.
Members may join one or more of eleven membership divisions that deal with specialized topics such as academic, school, or public libraries, technical or reference services, and library administration. Members may also join any of seventeen round tables that are grouped around more specific interests and issues than the broader set of ALA divisions.
The ALA is affiliated with regional, state, and student chapters across the country. It also organizes conferences, participates in library standards development, and publishes a number of books and periodicals. The ALA annually confers numerous notable book and media awards, includin ...More...

2005_IL_ALA2005_Wrap_050628 American Library Association 2005 conference (Chicago, IL) -- Day 4 wrap-up with Henry Winkler
2005 photos: Equipment this year: I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas.
Trips this year: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago.
Number of photos taken this year: 147,000.
