ILLiad Conference, Virginia Beach

I attended this year’s ILLiad International conference in Virginia Beach from March 23 till 25. In the conference, I had a chance to communicate with Atlas support staff directly and sharing difference experience and knowledge from other libraries, as well as getting updates from Atlas Systems.
