Analyzing LITA job ads for report in January

Nah. We had kind of a weird period with the chair switchover, which is why we didn't meet, but we still did work over email so it was ok.
Please provide suggestions for future education topics, initiatives, publications, resources, or other activities that could be developed based on your group’s work.
Mark talked with me at Midwinter about a data dashboard project which we might try and kickoff after annual depending on how the job bank analysis is going.
