The source for Oberlin College Libraries staff news and announcements!
Thanks to everyone for attending today’s info-packed Pan-Library Forum. I apologize for the zoom glitches—but thanks to Tracy and Alonso for making it work! Working on a better way for next time because I realize that no matter how much we all like being together in person (and eating deviled eggs), there are times when it is not possible.
As ever,
Valerie
