The Planning Committee announced a call for abstracts for the upcoming MLGSCA & NCNMLG Joint Meeting 2018. Papers, lightening talks, and posters are welcome.

The 2018 MLGSCA & NCNMLG Joint Chapter Meeting Planning Committee is soliciting submissions for contributed papers, lightening talks, and posters for the upcoming meeting: Crossing the Canyon: Bridging Divides and Navigating Waters, January 21 – 24, 2018, in Scottsdale, AZ.<\/p>\n
We want to hear from you! Papers, lightening talks, and posters may describe any research or practice of interest to the medical library community.<\/p>\n
Presenters should be prepared to speak between 12-15 minutes. Lightening talks are limited to five minutes, and serve as a way to participate in the conference in a less formal manner than a contributed paper.<\/p>\n
Note: Contributed papers are oral presentations; a complete text of the paper is not required.<\/p>\n
