Tomb of the Unknown Librarian

ALA Annual is being held in Washington D.C. this June and Preliminary Registration ends soon!

I’m required to submit a hard copy of my ALA registration instead of using the online registration. It drives me crazy when I am forced to print a PDF form and fill it in by hand not only because I have exuberant [illegible] handwriting but because it shouldn’t be that hard to create form fields on a PDF. Even if Acrobat doesn’t save the info, at least it prints out well enough for the recipient to read my long email address.

Here’s ALA’s Registration PDF [2.7 MB] with form fields added. I think it’ll work with most versions of Acrobat but unfortunately not Apple’s Preview. It probably needs a quick revision only for the support staff conference calculations; besides that, everything else seems to work fine. Let me know if anyone would like those fixed, it’ll just take two shakes of a librarian’s tail.
