This is still a while off but I thought I'd put out an initial request before the holidays officially begin. It's a request for ideas and suggestions for the meeting of the LITA Drupal4Lib Interest Group at the 2009 ALA Conference in Chicago.

LAST JUNE/JULY IN ANAHEIM
Last June, we had a pretty nice BoF with librarians discussing Drupal projects they were working on. We also had a round-robin Q&A with librarians new to Drupal who were thinking about maybe using the CMS but wanting more information.
Here's my write-up of the event:
"Drupal4Lib BoF at ALA Anaheim"
ALA 2009 IN CHICAGO
So next year, happily enough, we'll be meeting in Chicago (my hometown) and I wanted to poll people to see what they thought.
A BoF is pretty nice but we could just as easily have a speaker or two, or investigate an interesting theme or topic.
Time-wise, I don't think we’d get more than an hour and a half -- two hours max. Fun things might include specific modules for library application, using Drupal in a library environment -- anything really.
So if you have any ideas or suggestions, if you'd like to speak or would like to see someone else speak, if there's a theme or topic you’d like to investigate, please leave a comment either here or on the LITA Blog at:
http://tinyurl.com/Drupal4LibALAchicagoWith just a little work, I'm sure we can arrange something that our fellow Drupal4Lib'ers would look forward to.
Thanks for any help,
