Here are\u00a0posting instructions<\/a> for your interview notes.<\/p>\n

Documenting and Posting Notes from Your Call
\n<\/strong> If you do have time, please summarize your conversation using these questions, or whatever questions seem appropriate to you:<\/p>\n

    3. Some shared values between librarians and journalists have surfaced as we prepared for the conference:<\/p>\n
