I support Sara Kelly Johns for President of ALA. I've met her, talked to her, read her webpage, and I think she has what it takes to represent us Librarians vigorously and nationally. And its time we had a school-based librarian in charge of the ALA. It's been a few years (how many? don't know...Bueller? Anyone!?) .....Seriously though, I really think she can close the gap between ALA-AASL and ISTE-SIGMS...she *wants* to work together! That's progress!
Come hear her speak tonight! 8pm EST or 5pm SLT

Quoting from a message from Lisa Perez to all members of Media Specialists SIG on ISTE Community!

ALA. Just as voting opens, this will be your opportunity to inform
