This has been a day of reflection for me. I'm sitting here with a glass of Shiraz and thinking about how swiftly this fall has traveled by already. The annual conference in Columbus was extraordinary, and we've tried to capture some of its greatness this issue. I particularly want to thank the members who photographed, blogged and tweeted at the conference. I'd particularly like to thank Max Anderson at the GMR for taking photos the conference, some of which are in this issue.
In this issue, you'll meet your new chapter president, Elaine Skopelja, and can garner ideas from some of the posters presented at the conference. Congratulations are in order for Mary Markland, who was named the chapter's Distinguished Librarian of the Year for her exemplary service to the chapter and profession. So grab a cup of coffee or wine (if you're at home) and read all about why I'm thankful to belong to the Midwest Chapter of MLA. Happy Thanksgiving!
Cheers,
Jason
