*** ?I have been joking with my colleagues that the forum was like reading a year?s worth of professional literature ? and far more entertaining.? - Forum Attendee Feedback On August 7th and 8th, RLG Programs held the Forum: "More, Better, Faster, Cheaper: The Economics of Descriptive Practice" at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC. Sixteen invited speakers elaborated on how they manage to do more with less at their respective institutions ranging from libraries and archives to museums for an audience of over 125 attendees in the beautiful Folger Elizabethan Theatre. The podcasts (downloadable mp3 files) of the forum are now available at http://www.rlg.org/en/page.php?Page_ID=20968, alongside powerpoint presentations, handouts and speaker notes.
