Staff workshop help during campus power outage on June 25, 2013 for Cal Maritime staff. We used the Cephalonian Method (http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/insrv/educationandtraining/infolit/cephalonianmethod/index.html) and the workshop was inspired by those at Loyola Marymount (http://www.carl-acrl.org/conference2012/2012CARLproceedings/SupportingourInvisiblePatronsPoster.pdf).
