Post SLEDcc Presentation
I did my presentation at SLEDcc on Sunday at 2pm. 16 people attended, and I think the librarians came to make sure I stopped before their session at 3:00--there was a misprint on the colorful printout that suggested I was doing a repeat performance. (Just kidding; I think they were also interested in the topic.)
