A good group of GPC folks attended the 2005 GOLD/ GALILEO Annual Users Group Conference in Athens last Friday. Here's a picture of some, but not all, of us. It was a very enjoyable day, featuring lots of yummy snack foods.

In addition to the eating, there were several interesting sessions. The previously mentioned presentation by Ross Singer of GA Tech on WAG The Dog was very informative. There was also a GALILEO update which covered the implementation of SFX and federated searching of GALILEO databases in the not too distant future.


The Digital Library of Georgia session included information about their newly redesigned website, some featured collections, and a great look at an exhibit about the Gold Rush in Dahlonega. Pete attended it too!




Hopefully many of the presentations will be online soon for folks who didn't get to attend. All in all it was a very fun and informative Friday.
