Greetings!
 
Thanks for attending Michael D. McDonald’s talk last Thursday October 20th on resiliency systems, co-sponsored by the Drexel SLA Student Chapter and the Philadelphia SLA Chapter, hosted by the iSchool at Drexel University.

FYI – several individuals in the Philadelphia SLA plan to hold a follow-up discussion about what a local resiliency network in our area would look like. If you would like to be included in the calendar polling to find a convenient time for that meeting to occur please reply to  ***@***.*** . Both face-to-face and interactive webinar participation will be enabled for that follow-up discussion.  We plan to make it happen sometime within the next few weeks.  If timing permits, we may be joined by Mike McDonald or one of the librarians with whom he works on other regional networks to hear more about capabilities and steps involved in using the systems his organization has in place.
 
Thanks again for your interest!
Best regards,
Tim Siftar
