Virtual Meeting

Hi Everyone,
After our discussion of trying to have at least one virtual meeting, I came back to Boston and asked here at H.M.S. if we have the technology to host a site. We do with our WebX software and a few of our conference rooms which are equipped with web cams. However these rooms are in high demand so it would be helpful if we could pick a date for this sooner rather than later. We would be happy to act as a host for any LIME members in southern New England who wanted to come here and join the meeting. This would help cut down on the number of sites joining the meeting but allow many more members to participate. So, anyone want to suggest some dates?
Hope you all arrived home safely,
Julie

Our meeting in Pennsylvania

Happy New Year everyone,
I wanted to check in and confirm when we are meeting in Hershey. The conference website just says the same day as the COMET SIG but doesn't give a time. I am interested in trying to take a MERC course but of course, the LIME SIG is most important. Speaking of MERC courses, has anyone else in the SIG taken either of the courses offered this year?

Wishing you all the best,
Julie Whelan

Upcoming AAMC meeting October 31-November 5

As the national AAMC meeting quickly approaches, Kerry O'Rourke and Lauren Maggio are working to coordinate a librarians / LiME dinner on Sunday evening in San Antonio. We hope you will all be able to join us and plan to make a reservation soon. If you are interested, please RSVP to Lauren Maggio at lmaggio@stanford.edu, so that we can make a reservation. Feel free to invite your colleagues--the more the merrier!

Also in San Antonio, LiME and AAHSL are jointly presenting a poster highlighting the groups' initiatives and relationship to AAMC. They are hoping to staff the poster while it is up on Sunday and Monday. Please let Lauren know if you would be interested in volunteering some time.
