WMLA Annual Meeting 1999

Annual Meeting, April 9, 1999

"You've Come A Long Way, Librarian"

It is time again to mark your calendars and plan to attend the 1999 WMLA Annual Meeting. The WMLA Program Committee has been hard at work planning what we hope will be a useful and informative program. Our theme this year, "You've Come a Long Way, Librarian" is meant to help us reflect, as we draw to the end of the 1900's, on just how far we've come. No matter what the year 2000 brings, we should feel confident that our abiliy to adapt will keep us moving forward. This past year has brought an increase in Web-based products, the merger between OCLC and WLN, Free MEDLINE, a great increase in teh number of Loansome Doc users and a new term added to our vocabulary -- Y2K. We look forward to seeing you all on April 8th and 9th.
