You can come in person or join us online for a livestream of an event. I promise that our guests will inform, inspire, and probably even entertain you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Watch for the first time, or see it again<\/h2>\n<p>During the past two years, the seminar series topics have ranged from diversity to fair access to copyright. Four speakers have visited OCLC\u2019s headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, to speak to audiences in-person and via livestreaming video.
