Karen:
By all means add the talking points and a link to the slides to the
wiki (add the slides themselves to slideshare maybe?). I need to do
some slides for the RDA Update at Annual, so I'd love to see what you
used at Harvard.
By the way, I just got a note from Matthew Beacom--they're looking
for a blogger for that session--do you have any suggestions?
