LITA BlogTo our shame, Clara and I completely forgot to ask anyone to blog the BIGWIG meeting, let alone take pictures of your smiling faces. Not only that, we’ve been on rollerskates since then and have had one hurried meeting where we bumped our meeting notes and worked on one small joint task. So this is [...]
