I wonder who might be up for funding scholarships??? Any thoughts?<br />Best,<br />JillOfficial BEA Librarian Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251611464367228106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712745790852926037.post-75070195874446828302010-11-06T09:42:34.120-07:002010-11-06T09:42:34.120-07:00I came upon this blog while searching for the date...I came upon this blog while searching for the dates of the next BEA convention. It is great. Kudos to Jill.<br /><br />I would like to see comments regarding the possibility of BEA helping librarians attend their conventions. LIBER (International Book Fair in Spain) and the FIL in Guadalajara provide some assistance with flight and hotel expenses for librarians. Now that most of our public libraries have had their budgets dramatically reduced and liberarians are taking furlough days without pay in order to keep their jobs, attending conventions is very difficult. These conventions provide us with a wealth of information, especially BEA, as it alerts us to forthcoming books and trends in the publishing world.<br /><br />Any thoughts about this?<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />MillyMillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187597377889943019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712745790852926037.post-34889832262304338492010-09-29T12:38:35.175-07:002010-09-29T12:38:35.175-07:00Thanks Beth!

However, I would assume if you had either simulcasts available during presentations or access on this website after the conference is over, you could probably accommodate a lot of people across the country who cannot attend without impacting conference attendance at all. Perhaps some presenters would permit their presentations to be uploaded to the website post-conference; perhaps some videos could be filmed or author talks uploaded to the site, or even synchronous (live) sessions online ("webinar") with one or more speakers.<br /><br />:) DebraLitland.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777460211883975066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712745790852926037.post-41654478888250743972010-09-22T11:56:57.078-07:002010-09-22T11:56:57.078-07:00Hi Litland.com-

In a few days we can meet dozens of authors, network with hundreds of publishers, and have incredible conversations with colleagues. We can also use BEA as a forum to negotiate FABULOUS deals face to face! Negotiating is all about relationships, whether negotiating to bring an author to our local community, or discounts on purchases. What about you?Official BEA Librarian Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251611464367228106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712745790852926037.post-25160430180394212372010-08-15T23:12:42.388-07:002010-08-15T23:12:42.388-07:00Wow, you have a lot to manage in addition to being...Wow, you have a lot to manage in addition to being our "eyes" when at the BEA each spring!
