Hi Friends, I had a family thing and then the beginning of the fall semester, which is bonkers, so my apology for not responding until now. Milo covered everything anyway. Welcome, Mel! Join the zine librarians list if you haven't already. That's where all the convo happens. I'd love to go to the DZF, but can't promise anything. Holler when you secure dates. xoxojenna Jenna Freedman | Associate Director of Communications & Zine Librarian IM: BarnardLibJenna (AIM, Google, Yahoo) | Lehman 208 B @barnlib <http://twitter.com/barnlib> | facebook.com/barnardlibrary | zines.barnard.edu On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 11:06 PM, kelly shortandqueer < shortandqueer@yahoo.com> wrote: > Milo, you're the best! > > Yes, we're still using MS Access for our catalog at the moment.
