I was thrilled to leave my... more ›

What made the biggest impression on me was the ZSR presence. Since it is being held in our home town, it makes sense that lots of people would be... more ›

The Designing Libraries for the 21st Century conference begins in full tomorrow at the Hunt Library of NC State University in Raleigh.

As always, it was helpful... more ›
