I hope everyone had a great time at the 2009 TLA conference.

Did you check out the fabulous new display at the YART booth?

I had a great time meeting our authors and listening to their stories.

What was YOUR favorite YART session?

We had so many great authors at TLA 2009. And it sounds like they had as much fun as we did. Check out these blog postings. (If you find any others, please post them in the comments for us all to share).

Our fabulous YART webmaster is working on getting the digital booktalks posted. Our YART webmaster is working with the TLA webmaster so it involves some coordination between them and I know they both have a lot to do to get conference information posted. We are very appreciative of all the interest we have seen regarding the digital booktalks and we appreciate your patience.

Some of the programs we used to create our videos were Windows Movie Maker, Photostory, Animoto, and iMovie.
