Amanda, You or anyone else who wants to help distribute the stickers can drop by the OCLC booth in the Exhibit Hall and pick up a sheet. I will alert them that some people will be doing this. Thanks, Roy On Jan 7, 2016, at 5:58 AM, Amanda Rust <arrust(a)gmail.com> wrote: It's wonderful to see this coming together for Midwinter! Roy, when you say that you expect to recruit people you know to help distribute items and are fairly well equipped for Boston, do you mean that you are not looking for any additional librarians to volunteer? I might have some time, and I take it that Sara might as well.

Thank you so much, Roy. And thanks to you and OCLC for getting the things physically shipped here to Boston!

Jake, I wish I could report that it went viral throughout the conference, but I don't know that it did. Jessamyn West took a stack of them and she may have more to report. Both the National Library of Medicine and OCLC exhibit booths had them, and I also saw, on the last day, that they still had some "I edit Wikipedia" ribbons out on display. But I'm not sure how many stickers booth staff gave out. In any case, I know that a lot more people heard about 1Lib1Ref than would have otherwise, so hopefully that will get more people to participate.
