?It was helpful to talk to colleagues from other institutions and to be able to share best practices.- Charlotte, NC

I wish there had been more time to discuss issues with various OCLC products.- Terre Haute, IN

Have more breakout sessions and a bigger variety of them.-Lakeland, FL

I always learn something new from these sessions. Please come back next year!- Cheney, WA

Wish I could have attended more than one break-out session. I attended cataloging, but I also needed more information on ILL and Discovery since I also work in those areas. - Memphis, TN
