I was hoping to provide a link to the official ALA Conference website for you to go find out more information about these programs/presentations, but it appears that unless you’re a registered attendee, the above is about all the advance information available! If you have more information about any of the above (perhaps you’re one of the speakers?) why not post a little more information in the official ALA 2006 wiki?
