Highlights, Ideas, Suggestions...
What were some of today's highlights? How could the editathon have been better? Do you have a suggestion for a future editathon host? We are currently looking into organizing an event at the other special collections libraries of the Oakland Public Library, as well as the Oakland Museum of California. For more on that, see our 2013 Planning Notes.
