In a nod to 'crowdsourcing', FreePint's own editorial team drew on the experiences of fellow attendees at SLA's 2008 conference to provide a broader, deeper picture of the event. Robin Neidorf and William Hann - and a bevy of SLA member/contributors - report on the Seattle show.
What's Inside:
We received dozens of contributions, which we have organised and edited, with the authors' approval, to create this report. This report gives those who attended the event a way of reflecting not only on their own experience but also to garner further insight from their peers. Those who could not attend have a chance to peek into the event, going beyond the session summaries to understand a bit more of the Zeitgeist...and the value of attending.
We collected contributions from participants at SLA 2008. Our report is free to all SLA members, VIP and FUMSI subcribers.
