<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Here is what past participants had to say about RIPL:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">“This was one of the best training situations I’ve attended. It was laid out in a way that promoted optimal learning while still giving opportunities for networking & socializing. Great
job!”</span></em><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> “The curriculum & speakers were so well organized around the overall RIPL themes. It felt like a course in library data instead of individual conference sessions.”</span></em><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> “…This was, by far, the best conference I’ve ever attended and I think part of that was the fact that it was so focused on one area – we had the time to delve into the various aspects of
that, as well as get to know one another and work as a team. I look forward to applying what I learned within my organization.”</span></em><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> “RIPL was an incredible experience. I learned so much and feel like I came back equipped with new knowledge and skills to implement some relevant data collection and evaluation practices
at our library organization.”</span></em><br>
