[Web4lib] Attending/Presenting at conferences in difficult times / Dissolution of Reference

[Ranti Junus]

Wow. I wish I could attend *your* presentation. :-)

You're right. Sharing the experience is another way to keep others up
to date. I always looking forward to the conference reports written by
my fellow library staff. It's always nice to learn something new that
I might not aware of.


thanks,
ranti.
