2007 was a banner year for library education in the Bluegrass state. In the spring KMLA hosted a class in Lexington on electronic journals taught by Stephanie Aken of the University of Kentucky. The class was titled "Herding E-Journals" and had a western theme. Several of the participants dressed in western attire (although not mandatory) and a chuck wagon buffet was provided by the host institution, Saint Joseph Hospital.
Holly Ann Burt was on hand in Louisville in September to provide a class on PubMed training. The class was held at the University of Louisville and provided the participants with an in depth look at PubMed as well as other databases from the National Library of Medicine.

Last but not least, twenty-five participants gathered in Paducah, Kentucky for the final CE of the year. The class was titled "Don't Fence Me In: An Exploration of Barriers to Nurses Using the Library for Research." Carmen Davidson of Western Baptist Hospital and Lonnie Wright of Central Baptist Hospital were part of a panel that discussed ways to promote library services to busy clinical staff. This event was open to nurses, nursing students, nursing faculty as well as librarians from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
