If you were not able to make one of our fall Materials Review sessions you may still have the experience by borrowing a DVD recording of the first session. Although we do have a number of people on the waiting list, there are six copies circulating so the wait shouldn’t be too great. If you would like to have your name added to the list, please send me your name and mailing address, and we will do so. The link for the associated bibliography is: http://libraries.vermont.gov/sites/libraries/files/cbec/mrsfall2008.pdf
