Great Dinner Conversation: Taxonomy and the Information Technology Industry

Tuesday, October 21st, 2014

Y’all who didn’t stick around for dinner after the meeting missed a great conversation. Well, ok, perhaps I’m biased, but I’ll bet the taxonomist enjoyed it, too.

Many people think the Web will make libraries obsolete. Well, it’s been […]
