The Midcontinental and Midwest Chapters of the Medical Library Association had begun planning a joint in-person conference for October 2021 when the COVID-19 pandemic spread to the United States. Midwest Chapter made the decision to postpone their in-person meeting in Bloomington, Indiana to fall 2021, and Midcontinental invited Midwest to join the virtual conference they had already been planning for fall 2020. The two chapters look forward to coming together to share ideas and expertise!
