Although the conference is just two weeks away, I thought it posssible that some East coast subscribers to the NHC discussion list might be attracted to the meeting and have the opportunity to participate. IAMSLIC is a well-established international network of libraries associated with the marine sciences. IAMSLIC members come from a variety of settings, including universities, marine biology laboratories, and aquariums. If you are interested in attending the IAMSLIC meeting, get in touch with Susi at sridenour@aqua.org.
