I recently returned from the ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco. My conference experience was a mix of informative programs that inspired me, required committee meetings (both as LRTS editor and as the head of Central Technical Services at Rutgers) where I heard important developments in technical services, and events such as “ALCTS 101” and the ALCTS awards ceremony. Attending a professional conference can be overwhelming, and it seems that all the programs of interest to me are at the same time as my main event, the LRTS editorial board meeting. Fortunately, the ALCTS News includes program reports plus reports from ALCTS committees and interest groups so that I can read about what I have missed. Being actively engaged in ALCTS is an important aspect of having a successful conference experience. My experience is more meaningful when I interact with others, share my expertise, and have immediate access to my professional colleagues.
