Good morning. I sent this yesterday and for some reason, the formatting appeared strange to some folks (perhaps because I accidently sent it the bounce email for the listserv). Let's try this again! Here's the information about the session below. Fyi, I also
sent this to the CLAMS listserv. Feel free to share with your library folks. Please let me know if you have questions!</p>
