Hello KAHSLC members,
We had a really successful meeting with Tim Byrne telling us about the many amazing databases that have been created at OSTI. Such a treasure trove of information!
As a joint meeting with ETLA, Chris Durman, president of that organization, reported their highest attendance recorded since their most recent annual lecture event.
I'm hoping for more meetings like this in the future.
Michael Lindsay
President, KAHSLC
