The North Atlantic Health Sciences Libraries, Inc. (NAHSL) is holding its 2009 conference "What's Cooking? A Taste of the Future” October 25-27, 2009 at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine. Register and learn more about conference details and accommodations at http://www.nahsl.org/2009/index.html.
About 20 photos taken at the 2009 Spring Conference by Darrell Eifert have been uploaded to NHLA's Flickr account. You can browse that set of photos here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/8817676@N05/sets/72157618608051997 or http://tinyurl.com/lrlwjp. I'll be adding more photos that include people I am not able to identify, so perhaps members could leave comments on those items explaining who the subjects are. Thanks again to Darrell for being our conference photographer.
Do you have photos from other NHLA events, including NHLA section events? If so, please contact me so I can make arrangements to upload them to our Flickr account. What is the URL for NHLA's Flickr account? The answer is http://www.flickr.com/photos/nhlibrarians.
Video recordings of the two keynote speakers (and their introductions) at the 2009 Spring Conference can now be viewed by clicking on the links below. I'm working on making them available on YouTube, but upon my first attempt, I was told that YouTube videos can't be longer than 10 minutes. If you know otherwise, please let me know.
