Meeting:
·
“Attending
is indispensable for librarians with a strong role or
interest in any health sciences! “
·
“I find
attendance to be a much needed professional development power
boost and national peer networking opportunity. Absolutely love
seeing my long distance professional colleagues in person each
year “
·
“As a Master
s student, I appreciated the learning experiences and support I
received at MLA 15 in Austin,
TX. I learned so
much and made wonderful connections with people. “
·
“... an
opportunity to hear inspiring speakers, network with colleagues,
talk with exhibitors, andexperience geographic treasurers!”
·
“... an
exceptional place to network, learn, and get exposure to a world of
information that is tailored to health sciences librarianship.”
·
“Attending
always reminds me of the great work being done by many creative
and dedicated librarians. The speakers and programming inspire
me. The CE courses advance my skills and
knowledge.”
·
“As a first
timer, I didn’t know what to expect and I am not the world’s most
outgoing person. The people I met were warm, friendly, and engaging.
On top of everything else, I learned a
lot!”
·
“Attending
gives you the knowledge, inspiration, and enthusiasm to follow your
heart and be a library superstar. “

“I have
been to other library association meetings --none of them come close to
the level of networking and education provided at MLA.”
