Jake, I wish I could report that it went viral throughout the conference, but I don't know that it did. Jessamyn West took a stack of them and she may have more to report. Both the National Library of Medicine and OCLC exhibit booths had them, and I also saw, on the last day, that they still had some "I edit Wikipedia" ribbons out on display. But I'm not sure how many stickers booth staff gave out. In any case, I know that a lot more people heard about 1Lib1Ref than would have otherwise, so hopefully that will get more people to participate.

While you're recovering from mid-winter, how did it go? What was the buzz like? How were the stickers received/displayed?? Thanks again so much for being the "giver of swag and hope".
