That's one of the things I miss from my library days. So many law professors seem constitutionally incapable of sharing tentative, half-baked ideas. I'm told that's because so many of them today have gone through the Ph.D. dissertation process, where they've been trained to tweak, worry, and nitpick every idea 50 different ways before sharing it with anyone. This may be good for scholarship (although I have some doubts), but it's bad for planning, program development, or anything else. Ah, brainstorming….

I wish I could have been there. I followed on twitter from the woods of Maine (vacationing with family). But I know I could have gotten so much more out of the face to face interation with the attendess. The one topic that really sparked my interest was the library guides. I am glad to see that CALI and Legal Education Commons has stepped up. I work in a small library, with limited staff and an even more limited budget. Collaboration on library guides would be a great benefit to us and more importantly to our patrons. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with the library guides--creating a template, etc. Thanks for all you do for our profession! Christine Sarah,
