Hear, hear!!!!!
I was honored to participate in the BANDL Institute last summer. They
really shaped up a model of what education can be.
Kudos and cheers for my AMF '97 partner, Kathleen Ferenz. We, at the
Library of Congress, were sooooo sorry we couldn't be there. (Up to
our necks in this year's Summer Institutes).
