The Medical Library Association needs volunteers to help make a successful meeting. If you are NOT a member of MLA but interested in attending the meeting for free, then sign up to volunteer.
In return for every four hours of service, non-MLA members receive a one day pass. You can earn multiple days for multiple shifts. This is a great opportunity for public librarians interested in consumer health, academic librarians who do some health science, library students interested in attending a library conference on the cheap, and anyone else interested in medical librarianship topics to get a chance to attend the conference.
Volunteer Opportunities:
- Hospitality Information Booth – Answer questions about the conference, including schedule changes, transportation, restaurants, and other Seattle stuff. You will have resources like Restaurant & Library Guides to assist you with any questions.
- Perpare Annual Meeting Bags – FREE LUNCH provided. One time event, on Thursday, May 17th (mid-day) where comfy clothes and shoes while you and other volunteers stuff the meeting bags.
- Placement Center and Member Resource Room – Monitor computers, equipment and other resources available to members. It is a quite meet and greet environment that if things are slow you might be able to sneak in some reading.
For more information contact Ann Whitney Gleason: [email protected] and we look forward to welcoming you on the team!
This is a great idea! Thanks MLA.
