Colleagues, Registration Open Now! Check your calendar and sign up now. Much more into will be forthcoming...program/agenda times and dates. This Training Summit is designed for library staffs in many time zones so be sure to check carefully. I think the panels of various librarians, i.e., Academic, Medical, MWR, Sci/Tech/Labs were high points of the MLTW 2021 virtual Workshop and these will be repeated.
