#ACRL2015 proceedings, presentations, tweets

The ACRL (North American academic librarians) conference just took place in Portland, USA. As usual there were sessions relevant to information literacy. The conference Twitter is https://twitter.com/ACRL2015 and the hashtag was https://twitter.com/hashtag/acrl2015?f=realtime.
