Medical Informatics Section Programs for MLA 2009

Colleen Cuddy, Chair-elect, has arranged for the Medical Informatics Section to sponsor two programs and co-sponsor a third at the 2009 MLA Annual Meeting in Hawaii.

With Top Tech Trends III: Technology Fusion, co-sponsored by the Educational Media and Technologies Section, this popular program returns on Monday, May 18 at 10:30 AM for its third year, with technology trend spotters in health sciences libraries offering their latest insights, opinions, and criticisms on where technology is leading us next.

In a related effort, Eric Schnell continues to maintain a Facebook group for MLA Technology Trends <http://usc.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2464357736> to support a collaborative exchange among those interested in the field; the group currently has 195 members. Being an Informationist, or, Why Are You Working in the Library, is a contributed papers session being co-sponsored by the Molecular Biology and Genomics SIG on Sunday, May 17 at 11 AM; four contributed papers have been chosen to represent the breadth of the informationist role in the context of medical libraries.

The Educational Media and Technologies Section is the sponsor of a contributed papers session on Resources for Disaster and Remote Access Regions, being co-sponsored by the MIS and two other sections. This program is about providing information resources in times of disaster and identifying innovative approaches to information delivery in remote geographic regions.
