[Imc-makerspace] IMC Programming Committee this Sat 8/17 1-3pm

Fri Aug 16 17:09:18 UTC 2013

I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow.  I have heard that we have
some students at GSLIS who will be interested in the Zine Library.  Once we
figure out our next steps, I'm happy to post any information to our GSLIS
announcements.
