Go to: http://iall.net/mwall/ We may have had fewer in attendance (not by much), but we have many more photos! <grin> It was also great to talk with our NERALLD friends via videoconferencing. We also plan to have a few of our sessions posted soon with video streaming and illustrated audio. Also announcing... After serving well for five years, Ron Balko stepped down as MWALL's fearless leader. Elected by acclamation for a two-year term is Jenise Rowekamp from the Univ of Minnesota. Carroll Hightower from Carleton College was elected newsletter editor. (These are the only two elected positions in MWALL). Thanks Ron! And congratulations Jenise!

Auntie Nolo: "He Stole My Pic & Posted It!" Auntie Nolo, our persnickety in-house legal maven, always has an answer to legal dilemmas. Whether you like the answer or not is another thing altogether. A reader asks: "What rights does a person have if their picture was taken and then posted to an Internet website without their permission? Are they entitled to any profits of the website? Can they sue if the picture was uncomplimentary?"
