Subject: Announcing FiLBeRt: A free online monthly discussion about the
future of Libraries, Books, and Reading

 

Greetings!

 

FiLBeRt, a new monthly OPAL online discussion series about the Future of
Libraries, Books, and Reading, will kick-off on November 17th.  It's a
free discussion.  Everyone is welcome to attend and participate.  There
is no need to register.  It'll last no more than an hour.  

 

Anything named FiLBeRt has got to be nutty.  Details are below.

 

If you are new to OPAL, info on getting connected is at

this series.
