Annual Meeting

Notre Dame, Indiana October 8-10, 2009

The Midwest Chapter’s 68th annual meeting will be held October 8-10, 2009 in Notre Dame, Indiana. Notre Dame, located in northern Indiana, is surrounded by South Bend, Indiana (not unlike Rome and the Vatican). The program promises to be informative and fun; we’ll talk about LibGuides, browsable media collections, Wikis, oral history in action, and more. We’ll also be taking a guided tour of the beautiful Basilica of the Sacred Heart on Notre Dame’s campus.

Our conference hotel is the Inn at Saint Mary’s which is just across the street from the Notre Dame campus. The room rate for a single or double is $122.00 plus tax. This includes a hot breakfast buffet. We are guaranteed this rate through September 14. To get the conference rate you *must* use the link below.

Registration for the conference is $90.00 for members and $45.00 for students and retirees.

The cool part is that you register for both the hotel *and* the conference online.
