I hope SLQ won't mind too much if I copy scitech library question - Discussion List for SLA Conference in Toronto.
David Hook, on a number of SLA discussion groups, posted the following:
For those of you planning on attending the Toronto conference: it appears that there isn't a conference attendees discussion list set up for this year.
So, as an alternative many people are subscribing to the Toronto Chapter discussion list and posting their questions/requests for recommendations there. There have been some questions posted already about recommendations for live music venues, upcoming plays/musicals, etc.
If you are planning on attending the conference, I'd recommend joining the discussion list (for which you can sign up at http://lists.sla.org).
I don't know why, in 2005, SLA didn't set up a discussion list for their conference this year, but David offers a good alternative. More information on subscribing is available on the Toronto Chapter web site.
Once you subscribe, you can use the subscribed email address to log in to lists.sla and read the archives.
I've also been asked about a wiki. Does anyone want a wiki? I'm happy to set one up, but I feel a bit presumptuous doing so, SLA is a multi-thousand member organization and I am only one eccentric blogger who has never even been to an SLA conference before.
