ITI Bloggers June 16th, 2009

I was headed to the escalator to the exhibit hall when my attention was caught by a glass exhibit case-the 3-dimensional Centennial Showcase. It is designed to resemble an open book and features original pieces and miniature reproductions of archival materials from 1909, the year SLA was founded, to 2009. It tells the history of SLA and the information profession. If you haven’t stumbled on it yet, seek it out and spend a few minutes reminiscing and thinking about how far we’ve come-and where we might go next! There’s a useful printed handout that identifies each of the 142 items.
