This year’s annual NAHSL conference will be held Sunday, October 3 through Tuesday, October 5th, at Sebasco Harbor Resort in Sebasco Estates on the Maine coast.

A variety of continuing education classes will be offered on Sunday and Tuesday. The keynote address on Monday will be by T. Scott Plutchak, Director of the Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and editor of the Journal of the Medical Library Association.. Informative speakers, an author panel, and mini-courses are also scheduled Monday and Tuesday. Take a look at http://www.nahsl.org/2004/index for a complete list and descriptions of these programs. In addition there will be vendor exhibits, technical updates, and NAHSL’s annual business meeting.
