Did you attend Online Northwest, 2013?
Online Northwest attendees share:

I went and I was a presenter at the conference. My colleague Claver Hategekimana and I presented Getting Students Ready for Distance Learning.

consider ourselves librarians?
These questions have become more urgent for me in recent months as
the Community Colleges of Spokane have initiated a reorganization of our
library services. As of July 1, 2012, CCS Libraries will be one,
unified, district-wide service and not the three separate services
