The Conference Center ...

I found the Anaheim Convention Center to a reasonably attractive and well located venue, no better or worse than any of the previous three convention centers ALA selected for annual conferences. It did have a few perks that I especially enjoyed, specifically the outside garden area and open decks on all floor levels that enabled me to photograph Anaheim without restrictions and reflections of windows. The biggest oddity was having registration behind closed doors as opposed to in the open lobby area (similar to midwinter in Philadelphia). There was a lack of extended hours of operation the first two days as people arrived in Anaheim for the conference, only to be unable to register after 5:00 pm.
