    Wow - - big thank you to everyone who joined the DG session at ALA annual yesterday!!  We had over 200 folks, and ended up having to switch to a bigger room at the last moment!  Ginny and I were so excited by all of the great discussions and insights in the room - - although we weren't able to make the hybrid session happen, we will be running a virtual version of the discussion (discussing AI in the context of the ACRL Plan for Excellence) over the summer, so that everyone will have a chance to join in!

    Thank you again to everyone who joined for your energy, your perspectives, and your willingness to roll with the changes (and multiple chair moves!) - - we will utilize everything that you'd shared to map out the next year of discussions.  And, potentially spin up some working groups... more to come on that soon!

    With gratitude,

    Heather and Ginny
