If you’ve never attended, or have just been thinking about it, here is some recent feedback from those who have:
I recently stumbled upon an upcoming live session titled "Access to GFO Resources from Home" with Laurel Smith. It so happened that the next offering was July 12, so I signed up. This is a great introduction to the resources offered by GFO. I had no appreciation of the scope of resources and help available through GFO. I highly recommend this introduction to all members - it is a great overview.
Great introduction to the GFO. I had no idea!
Fabulous overview. I have never been on the GFO website before, and I am excited to explore it.
Learning about the depth of your collection, I had no idea you had so much for other states and countries!
Your resources are AWESOME!
