Liveblogged Posts From AALL 2011 in Philadelphia
In addition to the blog posts I put together from selected sessions at the PLL Summit on Saturday, I have also liveblogged a few of the other conference sessions I have attended:

These are notes are from talk by Dr. Barbara B. Tillett of theLibrary of Congress and John Mark Ockerboom of the University of Pennsylvania. - To Recover or Not to Recover: Trends, Solutions, and Alternatives for Taming Online Research Costs

I’ve had some good feedback to the blog posts. These are selected notes; any errors or omissions are mine. I welcome comments! So far I haven’t put any analysis together; it is all muddling around in my brain currently. I thought the E-books session in particular was a good follow-up to our similar session at the CALL conference in May. It is now Tuesday afternoon. The last few sessions are running and people seem to be quietly moving out, heading back home. See you in Toronto!
Twitter posts from everyone tweeting at the conference can be found at #aall11.


Thanks, Connie. Very helpful, as usual! The e-books one in particularly interesting, as you say, after the similar CALL session I followed through tweets by you and others.
