Annual Conferences
The Midwest Chapter conducts an annual educational conference each fall. The meeting addresses current issues relevant to health science librarians through a variety of formats -- panel presentations, formal papers, and informal discussion groups. In addition, each meeting offers continuing education courses and vendor exhibits.
An Annual Meetings Guide has been prepared by the board to guide conference planners in their work of organizing the meetings.
