Quote from webcast:
“[The profession] is still transitioning from a very print-based environment -or all those things that ‘used to be’ - and now we bring in all these electronic things in and now we have both. At every level, we are finding out what works for people, how to make things work, and how technology changes - all these things support us in how we do our work in different ways and meaningful ways.”
