 Do people like the time slot at ALA, which is Mon. in the vicinity of

If you go back and look at the programs for the last several years, you will
find an extremely crowded program on Sat & Sun.  I have _Never_ been able to
attend all the sessions I would like on those two days.  Mon, Tues, however,
are less hectic.  And for the same reason, when I _do_ go to a session on
those days, I am more relaxed and can focus better on the topic, rather than
be worried if I can make it to the next meeting.

To be honest, OCLC Union List Users Group is not a big priority on my
schedule.  When you are at a smaller institution where you wear many hats,
you must be involved in sessions more pertenint to your daily operations. On
the crowded Sat / Sun schedule, OCLC Union List Users Group would [probably]
be "bumped' on my schedule.

PLEASE ... this is not a putdown on the group.  It doesn't mean I don't think
it is important ... it is a matter of priority.

Actually, I like the 10-11, 11-12 , 1-2, 2-3 slots.
I can sleep in if I had a big night out :>), and not miss anything important.
 & I can have the afternoon free to perurse the exhibits.

In other words, I wouldn't change the time/day slot.  Seems ok where it is.

Anyway,  just my thoughts.
