Welcome Mashathon Participants

Welcome WorldCat Mashathon U.S. 2011 participants!

We're really happy to have you joining us for this new type of mashathon. The event will be held semi-synchronously over the course of two days April 7-8 at three different OCLC regional offices: Dublin, OH; Washington, DC and San Mateo, CA. Address information for each office is available on the OCLC website and a schedule is posted on the mashathon event webpage.
