Re: [AMIA-L] UCLA Festival of Preservation-LA Times

Andrea:

Thanks for sending the link to these articles. High-profile attention like this is always a good thing, and the Turan piece was wonderfully gushy on the subject of preservation; I wish I could attend the festival. But reading about it makes me proud to be a part of this profession as I toil away looking for the local treasures buried here. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Libby
