Re: [CODE4LIB] outside of libraryland,

Is it just me, or is this getting ridiculously popular? I don't think we'd want to negotiate the private dining option, but is there any interest in trying to get them to seat us together otherwise? -M On Mon, Mar 17, 2014 at 7:07 PM, Fleming, Declan dflem...@ucsd.edu wrote: Hi - I was able
