After the session, I floated my PPV in perpetuity idea. At least Wendy listened and wrote it down.

Day 2. Sunday 13 June
10.00 am
A relatively relaxed start with a breakfast meeting to learn about new developments from several learned societies.
1.Royal Society. Since 1660 with the oldest journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society since 1665. Their journals now rank in the top 10 of their subject category.
*** Check whether we do Package S. It is the entire bundle, saving 15% over individual subscriptions and includes the entire archive. Online generally 12 weeks ahead of print.
We have that content in JSTOR but all on one platform would be nice. Perhaps consortial access with Oberlin Group? Sarah Oelker, Mount Holyoke really likes that idea.
In Portico.
*** Fill out db recommendation form for a 30 day (ask for longer) free trial.
2. NRC is digitising their backfile but not all titles back to volume 1 yet.
I recommended "bite-sized chunks" unless whole archive really affordable.
I also recommended "sales" near fiscal year end.
3. Lyell Collection recognising that some potential customers already get some journal content via GSW (VC) there is a discount for GSW subscribers.
*** Fill out db recommendation form for a 30 day (ask for longer) free trial.
*** This might be good use of YENVI.
4. American Microbiological Association content is OA after 6 months. Yay!
New OA journal MBio.
*** Ask Andrea to SS if not already. We should register to get use stats.
AMA does LOCKSS but not Portico. I strongly urged that they join Portico.
Exhibit Opening
I'm on a mission to bend the ear of all journal vendors re
Portico
Deposit after 6 months once FRPAA is law, e.g to ArXiv. (Portland Press does this for NIH supported papers.)
Backfile: affordable/free; "sale" @year end; "bite sized chunks"
Perpetual access for PPV. This could be a huge win/win for libraries and publishers. They would sell $millions in a year if they did this. Several librarians agree they would support ppv with such a model.
*** Send these to PAM and PAM Publisher liaisons and ASL.
Met friends, collected info and goodies and enjoyed food and drink, especially shrimp and grits.
5.00 pm Awards and Keynote
I did not pay close attention but multitasked and started this blog!
7.30 pm Awards Reception
Used ticket donated by Roberta (Bobby) Goering.
*** Try to contact her and thank her as it was a lot of fun.
First fun part was being bussed - all the way to the adjacent building!
Next fun part was walking through huge warehouse of old floats and watching band make a grand noise.
Final fun part was exploring food and drink options and making new friends - Eric Schwartz who teaches a course at Rutgers, Susan who was at breakfast session and Judy, former SLA President and newly inducted SLA Hall of Famer (had I been paying attention!)
Eric and I closed out party, 3 of us in huge coach to round the corner but then as it was taking E to Sheraton I stayed onto Tchouptitoulas St which the bus driver pronounced for me and told me it was a Choctaw name.
And so to bed.

Getting to SLA in New Orleans
Up @ 5.00 am having spent the night at my friend's house at NYMA. In her SUV I clutched fresh-brewed coffee, through downtown Cornwall on Hudson and along twisting country roads passing deer quietly grazing. In no time we were at Stewart airport where I made my way to the Delta desk but somehow joined the US Airways queue! I rectified my mistake before I missed my flight and tried out my basic Polish with the polite Delta ground staff who was from Poland.
On the first flight met a lovely young woman who works for Community Action and was also going to a conference. In Atlanta I shared my left over celery sticks with Mercedes, also on her way to SLA. Our flight was delayed about an hour for maintenance. I am always happier to have problems resolved before we board. I discovered the PAM chair boarding the New Orleans flight whom I first met at SLA Seattle in 1997 or so. We sat together and I cribbed from her PAM dance card.
I made my way to the hotel using the easy Airport Shuttle where I met a lovely NLM trainer who telecommutes from New England. The hotel is a charming converted coffee warehouse in the Warehouse District and very distinctive. One distinction is that the huge bedroom with 2 queen beds and hardwood, creaky floors, has no window to the outside! I decided I don't mind since blinds are always drawn here to keep out the heat.
The convention centre was a very hot few blocks away where I collected my badge and registered for the Katrina tour.
Back at the hotel even more wiped out from the heat I did wonder why the digital alarm clock was an hour earlier than my watch but since I was ready for dinner made my way to Liborio's Cuban Restaurant to join the PAM earlybird dinner. The restaurant was closed and no-one from PAM was in sight. Eventually the penny dropped. New Orleans is not in the same time zone as New York! Meanwhile a thunderstorm or 2 passed through but I stayed dry in the rain cape I'd borrowed that morning. I gently explored the nearby streets where I found that the Bar Association occupies the old Soule College building. Nearby was the Hale Boggs Federal building - a name which would make any Scot smile at the sound of it.
New Orleans rain is like a shower in a sauna but passes quickly as did the extra hour and I found PAM and Khue Duong who allowed me to join the dinner party last minute. I met Lance Utley whom I know from his free materials offering on PAM and sat near Kathleen Robertson from Hawaii whom I know from Calgary, Pete Banholzer from NASA Goddard and Judy Tripplehorn from Fairbanks. Next to me was July from AIP who tested her survey on me while we waited for dinner. The restaurant seemed overwhelmed by us, the paella was mediocre, but the caparhina was fine! It took ages for our bill to appear and then ages for people to reconcile their share. I was too tired. An unfortunate end to a fine gathering. Good job PAM and Khue for co-ordinating a good evening bar some minor glitches.
And so ended my first day. Later I heard PAM carried on to Bourbon St but I needed sleep.
