Thursday: High 65, Low 45
Friday: High 58, Low 38
Saturday: High 55, Low 35

Generally evenings are rather cool, especially starting around 6:30-7:30pm as the sun starts to recede.

Questions/comments

2009-09-15T15:44:00.003-04:00

I have not heard about specific needs for information other than what has already been posted on the blog but I thought I would post another query.

If there is anything you are curious in and I can supply I would love to try and do so. Just leave a note here or email me at matthews.27@nd.edu.

See you in October!

Music Library Association, Midwest Chapter

Annual Meeting

Notre Dame, Indiana October 8-10, 2009

The Midwest Chapter’s 68^th 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.
