Dear all, I'm not a librarian and unless the convention comes to Israel, probably will never attend one, but I've been following this conversation for the past couple of years - so here's my 2 cents!
There are many universities in major cities - this may answer a number of the problems brought up in the discussion. and the recent suggestion of "every other year" - college/hotel - may really be an option, especially if there is a desire to increase the numbers of participants. I think the idea of having the convention committee made up of others outside of the area of the convention itself is a good one. The accumulated experience of past years is always a plus. as for the exhibitors - and only being able to speak for Jerusalem Books - wherever you'll be, Jerusalem Books will be there! wendy Wendy Weiss Simon Jerusalem Books POB 26190 Jerusalem 91260 Israel 972-2-6433580 (tel/fax) Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the AJL =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
