ETHICS IN HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARIANSHIP WWYD? Continue the discussion on the new community site on MLANET at www.mlanet.org
“This meeting is the best place to network, learn what people are doing in other libraries, and keep up on what are the trends that I need to be aware for planning for the future.” “I come to MLA each year to fulfill 3 goals - 1- see my longtime friends 2 make new friends 3- pick up some new pearls of wisdom and each year I go home exhausted and happy in knowing my goals were met.” “The meeting was very nice. This was my first MLA, and I have to say that I did not know what to expect. However, I had a great time. I did a lot of networking and everyone was so friendly and approachable.” “I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. It was my first, but I still learned a great deal, made a few new contacts, and returned to my institution with a sense of direction and renewed excitement towards new initiatives!” Mla ’14 e-conference now available!www.mlanet.org “It is great to take a step back from the day to day work that I can so often get wrapped up in and have the opportunity to really reconnect with my passion for my profession and be inspired by my peers. I really feel motivated and re-energized after attending MLA s annual conferences.”
