It also is the only national library conference always held in the DC metropolitan area, where approximately one half of the federal library workforce is located. As such, it provides a unique opportunity for a large number of FEDLINK member librarians and their support staff to obtain the most current information on this critical and ever-evolving topic in a variety of educational sessions, and to receive demonstrations and other updates from the related vendor community.
