Schneider's blog on librarianship, writing, and everything else			.html	application/xhtml+xml	17822	1121	76	I am going in early today because I need to print things, not because I am an older woman who fears technology but because our home printer isn't working and I can't trust that I'll have seatback room on my flight to Chicago to open my laptop and read the ALA Executive Board manual electronically, let alone annotate it or mark it up. In June I attended Council Orientation, and though it was excellent–the whole idea that Councilors would benefit from an introduction to the process is a beneficial concept that emerged over the last two decades–it did make me reflect on what I would add if there had been a follow-on conversation with sitting Councilors called "sharing the wisdom." I was particularly alerted to that by comments during Orientation which pointed up a traditional view of the Council process where ALA's largest governing body is largely inactive for over 350 days a year, only rousing when we prepare to meet face to face.	./cache/freerangelibrarian-com-7953.html	./txt/freerangelibrarian-com-7953.txt
