- I'm just noting here that I went to the American Library Association mid-winter meeting between January 24-26th. I got in free as an exhibitor with OCLC, attended the Friday LibHack Hackathon for free, and stayed in a hostel. It was $200 for the whole deal including all travel and lodging. At the hackathon we developed a popular tool to surface content from the Digital Public Library of America, and we presented about the OCLC full text tool and Wikipedia Visiting Scholars program to a group of 20 university librarians (including Stanford, Rutgers, Berkeley, and Montana State). It'd be nice if this very TWL-centric event could be funded, either from the Travel budget for Las Vegas if available, or otherwise as an additional component. Regular value for the registration and lodging and travel would have been well over $1000, so we got a great deal out of it!
