PLA Blog

I’d like to thank everyone who helped make PLA’s first blogging effort such a success. To date, the blog has received 9,277 page views- I think that’s pretty good for an experimental blog! I’d like to especially thank Steven Cohen, for spearheading this effort and for managing it during the course of the Midwinter Meeting, as well as the enthusiastic team of bloggers who fanned out to cover so many different events for our readers.

This was one of the biggest Midwinter Meetings in recent history, with over 13,000 persons in attendance and so it was a very busy meeting with lots of programs and meetings for the bloggers to write about. As I read over the blog, it strikes me just how important a tool it is, especially for our members who can’t make it to conferences. Again, thanks to everyone who helped make this blog a reality.

PLA is hoping to use this experience as a base for a continuous blogging effort. Check back here or at www.pla.org for future PLA blogging news.
