-From NLS:

-Conference Chair Questions and Issues:
+**Network Chairs:**\\
-South Question: Would it be possible to have a generic BARD demonstration database with passwords available for public libraries. This would only be used for the promotion of the service.
-NLS Answer: Public Libraries can sign up now to have a BARD account and demonstrate the service. But it’s a personalized user name and password.
-North Question: Will there be a press release about the Library of the year award?
-NLS answer: Yes. It will be coming out on Monday.
-North Statement: It would be good if there was someone at the teleconference call next week that can talk about the Android App for BARD Mobile. There will probably be some questions/comments about that.
