Taming Your Inner Packrat

Are you drowning in a sea of papers, documents, old photographs and other research materials? Don't miss this organizational power lecture by Lisa Alzo! Learn how to organize your documents and photos for quick retrieval, use strategies to stay on track, and tame your paper and electronic monsters. Two sets of handouts, and a project template, will be available to attendees in electronic formats.

Join us for "Taming Your Inner Packrat" by Lisa Alzo and moderated by Thomas MacEntee.

Our meetings are generally  streamed on YouTube, starting at 7:30 p.m. (https://youtu.be/TF7fIAZUhWQ). Due to copyright considerations, for this meeting we will stream just the business and announcements portion.
