Interesting article and survey. Thanks!
I was also looking for some hand sanitizer at ALA, but did succeed in my goal…
But as shown in the video, I also got all kind of pens and pencils, which actually will be used for sudokus.

Has anyone ever done a survey like: what’s the most popular giveaway item you grasped at an ALA conference? On the top of my list are Google brooches which can flash, and Mango T-shirts (because of the color, fresh and even delicious). Wish vendors could be more creative for Annual Conference.

I picked up hand sanitizer from Science Direct’s booth at ALA.

EBSCO was also handing out tiny tubes of hand sanitizer. And I wasn’t even looking for it.

Lisa you have been drafted for the “hand sanitizer discovery team” for ALA 2010. Apparently you have a keen eye for spotting hand sanitizer. Unfortunately I couldn’t get to every booth – and I did stop at L/N, but I didn’t get a chance to ask about their giveaways – I actually had a serious question for them – obviously a mistake. A bottle shaped like a pen just doesn’t cut it for me. I want a working pen that actually contains the sanitizer.

You apparently missed LexisNexis and the spray hand sanitizer in a bottle shaped like a … PEN!
