Hello listmates, My name is Curtis Chin and I am the producer of a new documentary on Asian American empowerment called "Vincent Who?" The film won the 2009 Media Award from the National Association for Multicultural Education and we have screened at over 130 colleges and libraries in the past year. We have been invited to participate on a panel about Asian Americans and social justice during this year's ALA conference in DC. It's my first one so any advice would be greatly appreciated. What day should I fly in and leave? Any mixers or things I should look out for?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
