You know how it is. You return to work after being gone nearly a week and it takes forever to catch up... I have all my notes from our 2008 conference in a neat pile on my workdesk. I'll be digesting these and will be sharing my take on the conference with you over the next week or so. And I'm expecting that some other chapter members will be posting as well. Hint, hint everyone!

So stay tuned!

Did you notice the information about our 2009 Midwest/MLA Conference in my post about the chapter board meeting? The conference planners exhibited at the meeting in Troy, handing out Buckeye candy. Christopher Columbus himself attended the chapter business meeting to invite the membership to come October 3-6, 2009 to Columbus, Ohio to "Seek, Explore, Discover."

Here is a great information sheet that will tell you all the things to see and do in Columbus. Our conference hotel will be the Hyatt on Capitol Square just across from the beautiful Ohio Statehouse. Join us! Your intrepid blog editor is on the planning committee and knows that you'll have a great time!

P.S. The 2009 conference planners would like to announce the WINNERS of the three $100.00 gift certificates for the 2009 conference (good toward registration or CE's) that were given away during the prize drawings at the 2008 conference. And the winners are:

• Katherine Chew, University of Minnesota, Bio-Medical Library


• Merle Rosenzweig, University of Michigan, Health Sciences Libraries
