Sorry for the repeated email... but I just wanted to let you all know that there is still space in this workshop if you or anyone you know is interested in attending; feel free to send to colleagues. Please sign up soon though so we can order enough catering.
Also, if anyone has resources they think their librarian colleagues should know about -- wikiprojects, white papers, handouts, etc. -- feel free to post them on our workshop page or on the talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Workshop/ACRL_2013 Thanks so much!
