[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics: need community feedback for December meeting

[Yamil Suarez]

Hello,

I just closed the poll, and the next Evergreen for Academics meeting
will be on Friday, December 18th 2:00 PM EST on IRC.

The topic will be reserves, and Kathy Lussier will lead the discussion.

I will send out another email with a reminder before the meeting.

Thanks,
Yamil
