Albuquerque

I'm back from LOEX. It was a good conference, and probably a good introduction to library conferences, since it's not as huge as ALA. Here are a few photos I took, for your viewing pleasure...
This is a view from my hotel (not the conference hotel) of the downtown skyline.

This is a view of Route 66 from the hotel. If you look, you can see the Route 66 markers along the road.

This is one of many little plaza areas in Old Town. It's the old part of the city, and full of restaurants, shops, museums, etc.

I'm up to the usual - job applications, knitting, reading, etc.

My future excitement is that I will be attending the LOEX conference in Albuquerque, NM, April 30-May 2. It's a library instruction conference, and they cap the attendance at 200. I was on the waiting list, but got moved off recently. Since I'm such a new grad, I got one of the student spots. Woo hoo! Not only do I get to go, but I got the student rate! There really should be a conference category for first year after graduation for library conferences, instead of jumping from student to regular rates. I had to pay the regular ALA dues this time... and would have had to pay the ACRL regular rates if I had gone to that conference. While I have the time and interest, as an unemployed, job hunting future librarian, I don't have the money. That's why getting to go to LOEX is so cool.
