[Publib] ALA conference sites

[Sue Kamm]

It was an ALA division, ACRL (Association of College and Research
Libraries) that did that.  

There was a precedent: ALA refused to meet in states that had not ratified
the Equal Rights Amendment, and I believe pulled a Midwinter meeting from
Cincinnati because of censorship of an exhibition of Robert Mapplethorpe's
work.
