Editorial

Welcome to Volume 12, No. 3 of Wired West. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this issue. This issue is the Conference Issue, with some spirited insights from our SLA WCC conference attendees. This is also the anniversary issue of SLA Wired West, which celebrates the beginning of SLA WCC, and with the help of its founding member, reveals the long and accomplished history of this chapter.

Thank you to all. Your thoughts and experiences are much appreciated. And thank you for taking the time to read and explore these important issues of the SLA Western chapter world.
