Most of us work at libraries that can't afford to send us to some of the major library conferences, for example the annual Public Library Association conference. This year, PLA was held in Minnesota in March, and who really wants to go to Minnesota in the spring? But fear not. A great many of the presentation handouts from conference sessions are freely available to download on the PLA website. So don't hesitate. Visit the site right away and start downloading. It's free!

Does anyone know of other major library conferences that make their handouts freely available online following the conference? If so, please leave a comment!
