I am interested to attend this presentation. Will it be streamed live?
Working with Dominican now on the details. At the very least I will post a screencast of my portion. More details as I have them.
Thank you. I am in Uzbekistan and cannot attend but would love to hear your lecture and panel discussion. Hopefully it will be recorded and made available to librarians. Best, Susan
