Are you heading to Chicago to attend the annual Medical Library Association conference? If so, know that NLM and NNLM will be there too. Add us to your schedule.

Exhibit Hall: Stop by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) exhibit booth (#208) which open Saturday, 5-7:30), Sunday noon-5:30, and Monday 10-5. Experts will be on hand to answer questions, take feedback, and discuss the latest NLM news.  Check the NLM Technical Bulletin to view the list of selected NLM products, the times those representatives will be at the booth, and links to any recent news. Don’t see the product that you are interested in or a time that works for you? Please stop by the booth anytime to be connected with someone who can help. Unlike past conferences, this year’s exhibit will place more emphasis on talking to YOU, our users, trainers and promoters of NLM products rather than theater presentations.

NLM Update: Tuesday, May 7  from 11:00  – 11:55  a.m. in the Grand Ballroom CDEF (East Tower, Ballroom/Gold Level)

Docline Users Group: Sunday, May 5 from 12:00  – 12:55 p.m. in the Randolph 1AB (East Tower, Concourse/Bronze Level)

PubMed Update: Sunday, May 5 from 1:00  – 1:55 p.m. in the Randolph 1AB (East Tower, Concourse/Bronze Level)

Elevating Health Equity: Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Monday, May 6 from 2:00  – 3:25 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom B (East Tower, Ballroom/Gold Level)

In addition NNLM has employment opportunities where you can schedule a time to meet with respective representatives:

• NNLM Pacific Northwest Region: Outreach Coordinator, email Associate Director Cathy Burroughs (cburroug@uw.edu) to meet at MLA
• NNLM Middle Atlantic Region: Academic Coordinator, email Executive Director Kate Flewelling (flewkate@pitt.edu) to meet at MLA

Of course, many NNLM staff will be presenting CE, papers, posters, and sessions as well as attending various business meetings, and we’ll also be at the NLM exhibit booth. We hope to see you there!
