They will be hosting/facilitating a hands-on workshop about their tools. About a year ago I participated in a very similar workshop, and I found the experience well-worth my time. Maybe you will too? Moreover, they are offering some money to supplement costs. This tutorial is beneficial to just about anybody in Library Land because it describes and demonstrates solutions for drinking from the proverbial fire hose. --Eric Lease Morgan
