    Will it be archived and made available without login for those who couldn't sign on because it requires yet another bleeping account set up and requested single-use codes are not forthcoming?

    All MAGIRT webinars are recorded and archived on the the MAGIRT Map & Geospatial Resources page.  Send me an email me (carolmc@uflib.ufl.edu) if you can't find it.  Hallie gave a great presentation. :)

    Also, AdobeConnect shouldn't have required a username for that webinar so I'm sorry to hear that you had issues Patricia!
