  2. &lt;br /&gt;
  3. 10. Planning for PNC/MLA 2009. Planning a conference is a lot of work! The dynamic duo of Susan Barnes and Gail Kouame ran a tight ship and kept us all moving in the right direction. It was great to see everything come together after so many months.&lt;br /&gt;
  4. &lt;br /&gt;
  5. 9. Twitter. We tweeted the heck out of this meeting. In so tweeting, we captured key points from the conference sessions, shared references and links mentioned by the presenters, asked questions, snapped photos, and shared the events of PNC/MLA with our colleagues around the world. If you haven&#39;t yet, take a look at the tweets tagged with &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23pncmla09&quot;&gt;#pncmla09&lt;/a&gt;. Thanks to all of the tweeters out there.&lt;br /&gt;
  6. &lt;br /&gt;
  7. 8. Powerful keynote addresses about healthcare reform from Drs.Will Welton and Lori Heim. Is this the year that meaningful reform legislation is finally possible? Everyone&#39;s talking about reducing healthcare costs and improving quality of care. Let&#39;s make sure they&#39;re also talking about medical librarians and how we help make those things happen every day.&lt;br /&gt;
  8. &lt;br /&gt;
  9. 7. The library school / iSchool students who joined us. Thanks for everything you are already contributing to our profession. I wish I&#39;d been brave enough to attend a professional conference when I was in graduate school. May your efforts be rewarded with fantastic internship opportunities and job offers.We hope you&#39;ll be back year after year.&lt;br /&gt;
  10. &lt;br /&gt;
  11. 6. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unshelved.com/&quot;&gt;Unshelved&lt;/a&gt; Guys. Up until now, I&#39;ve only been an occasional reader of this library-themed comic strip, but the presentation Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum gave last night kept everyone in stitches. I finally understand what is up with that beaver mascot, and I am loving my &quot;Frequently Asked Questions&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unshelved.com/images/store/tee-faq-womens-large.gif&quot;&gt;t-shirt&lt;/a&gt;. It was great to see conference attendees lining up after the banquet to tell Bill and Gene their hilarious cataloging stories. &lt;br /&gt;
  12. &lt;br /&gt;
  13. 5. The panel discussion about mentors and mentorship was extremely well done. I refrained from tweeting so I could take &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AU9WokmXIX3XZGM2OHQzNHNfMTk4Z20ycXRjdjk&amp;amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;real notes&lt;/a&gt; during this session. It made me think about my own formal and informal career mentors and how thanking them would be an excellent way to celebrate National Medical Librarians&#39; Month.&lt;br /&gt;
  14. &lt;br /&gt;
  15. 4. Dianne McCutcheon&#39;s talk about disruptive technologies and the future of library collections. One word: post-papyrocentric. Preserving access to digital materials presents huge challenges for our library of record, the National Library of Medicine. Dianne&#39;s talk renewed my great respect for those in our profession who are working out the solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
  16. &lt;br /&gt;
  17. 3. The food. The food was incredible, and so was the service from Washington Athletic Club staff. The contents of my refrigerator are completely inadequate by comparison.&lt;br /&gt;
  18. &lt;br /&gt;
  19. 2. The Web 2.0 a.k.a. &quot;Let&#39;s just call it the internet&quot; session. You&#39;re making LibGuides. You&#39;re podcasting and screencasting. You&#39;re using wikis to keep projects organized. You&#39;re introducing soon-to-be graduates to the beauty of RSS feeds... and as the editor of Technology Tuesday posts in the RML&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://nnlm.gov/pnr/dragonfly&quot;&gt;Dragonfly&lt;/a&gt; blog, I&#39;m taking notes and taking names! I&#39;m always seeking guest posts from PNR network members and would love to help you show off your excellent web work.&lt;br /&gt;
  20. &lt;br /&gt;
  21. 1. Recognizing so many people. I&#39;m lucky to have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://nnlm.gov/pnr/dragonfly/2008/01/08/new-technology-outreach-coordinator/&quot;&gt;job&lt;/a&gt; that involves traveling around the Pacific Northwest and meeting all sorts of health information professionals. When I started almost two years ago, I thought I would never be able to keep track of all the names, faces, and personalities. I&#39;m getting there thanks to conferences, site visits, and social media. Thanks for making an introverted green-ish librarian from Ohio feel so welcome.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pncmla09.blogspot.com/feeds/2611770303212123899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pncmla09.blogspot.com/2009/10/top-ten-memories-from-pncmla-09.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848624176971494254/posts/default/2611770303212123899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848624176971494254/posts/default/2611770303212123899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pncmla09.blogspot.com/2009/10/top-ten-memories-from-pncmla-09.html' title='Top Ten Memories from PNC/MLA &#39;09'/><author><name>Alison Aldrich</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03883637762449201255</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848624176971494254.post-3930475453894730869</id><published>2009-10-19T23:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-19T23:14:23.993-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What Roles Will  Medical Librarians Play in Reforming the Nation&#39;s Healthcare System?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

  22. &lt;br /&gt;
  23. Do you tweet?&amp;nbsp;Please use the hashtag #pncmla09 when tweeting about our annual meeting. That way&amp;nbsp;all of our tweets will appear together in a search. Here&#39;s what people are &lt;a href=&quot;http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23pncmla09&quot;&gt;already saying&lt;/a&gt; about #pncmla09.&lt;br /&gt;

  25. If you&#39;re new to Twitter but would like to give it a try, bring your laptop or smartphone and ask at the registration desk for someone to help you get started. We&#39;ll have special Twitter stickers for the name badges so you&#39;ll know who&#39;s tweeting. Also see &lt;a href=&quot;http://nnlm.gov/pnr/dragonfly/2009/01/14/twitter/&quot;&gt;Look Who&#39;s Tweeting&lt;/a&gt; for some basics and &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.gartner.com/jeffrey_mann/2009/10/06/using-twitter-at-events-and-conferences/&quot;&gt;Using Twitter at Events and Conferences&lt;/a&gt; for some best practices.&lt;br /&gt;

The challenge these days is finding ways to have fun without spending a lot of money. Well, here is a list of thirteen things to do in Seattle that won’t cost you a thing, except perhaps bus fare!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sk0Tvm6o5N8/SrHHBymkzhI/AAAAAAAAAA8/fObvbTw14dI/s1600-h/2210301379_709f164df5_m.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 132px;&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sk0Tvm6o5N8/SrHHBymkzhI/AAAAAAAAAA8/fObvbTw14dI/s320/2210301379_709f164df5_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382301863261818386&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/tour/locks.htm&quot;&gt;Hiram M. Chittenden&quot;Ballard&quot; Locks&lt;/a&gt; - Seattle’s answer to the Panama Canal brings boats from Puget Sound into the interior lakes. Located at 3015 NW 54th St., the locks have beautiful tranquil grounds, fish ladders and the occasional clueless boater. Starboard? Which side is that again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/visit/osp/&quot;&gt;Olympic Sculpture Garden&lt;/a&gt; – Seattle&#39;s newest outdoor wonder, located at 2901 Western Avenue, offers a leisurely stroll through outdoor sculptures combined with views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theochocolate.com/&quot;&gt;Theo&#39;s Chocolate&lt;/a&gt; – Located north of downtown at 3400 Phinney Avenue, Theo’s organic free-trade chocolate is gaining in both prestige and popularity.

Located on Capitol Hill, the conservatory has all that and more! The park’s water tower features an exhibit about the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm which designed many college campuses, parks and other public spaces throughout the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;a href=&quot;http://depts.washington.edu/wpa/index.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Washington Park Arboretum&lt;/a&gt; – The arboretum is a spectacular urban green space on the shores of Lake Washington just east of downtown Seattle and south of the University of Washington at 2300 Arboretum Drive E.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;a href=&quot;http://fryemuseum.org/&quot;&gt;Frye Art Museum&lt;/a&gt; – Located just up the hill from conference center at 704 Terry Avenue, the Frye features an eclectic, ever-changing collection of art and a fabulous café!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cityofseattle.net/Parks/park_detail.asp?ID=307&quot;&gt;Green Lake Park&lt;/a&gt; - If you&#39;re a runner, jogger, walker or an avid people-watcher, hop on the bus and head up to Green Lake park. It&#39;s a natural oasis in the middle of the city. There&#39;s a 2.8-mile paved path around the lake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;a href=&quot;http://uwnews.org/uweek/article.aspx?id=50023&quot;&gt;Suzzallo Library&lt;/a&gt; at the University of Washington is featuring an exhibit of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition until October 30th in room 102. Photographs, ephemera and other objects take you back to yesteryear when Seattle was just emerging as an important Pacific city and women&#39;s suffrage was gaining momentum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spl.org/&quot;&gt;Seattle Public Library&lt;/a&gt; – Like it or lump it, Seattle&#39;s flagship Central Library is an architectural wonder and something to be seen. It is located just blocks from the conference site at 1000 Fourth Avenue. Check out the views from top floors, the art work and the Friends shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uwajimaya.com/&quot;&gt;Uwajimaya&lt;/a&gt;, Seattle&#39;s premier Asian market in the International district at 600 Fifth Avenue South, is full of interesting sights, sounds, tastes and smells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sk0Tvm6o5N8/SrHH4IN4eBI/AAAAAAAAABM/7Gxsc8Y6zS8/s1600-h/2975856925_14ab568595_m.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 138px;&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sk0Tvm6o5N8/SrHH4IN4eBI/AAAAAAAAABM/7Gxsc8Y6zS8/s320/2975856925_14ab568595_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382302796776765458&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cityofseattle.net/parks/park_detail.asp?id=342&quot;&gt;Kerry Park&lt;/a&gt; at the top of Queen Anne Hill boasts incredible views of the Seattle skyline. Bring your camera!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nps.gov/klse/index.htm&quot;&gt;Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park&lt;/a&gt; - Located at northwest corner of Jackson Street and Second Avenue, the park preserves the story of the 1897-98 stampede to the Yukon gold fields and Seattle’s role in this event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Of course, no trip to Seattle is complete without a visit to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pikeplacemarket.org/&quot;&gt;Pike Place Market&lt;/a&gt; - Have your picture taken with Rachel, the bronze pig, the Market&#39;s unofficial mascot. Just in case you haven&#39;t seen enough of them, located just across the street from Rachel is the original Starbucks. Pike Place Market is located just off First Avenue and Pike Street at 1501 Pike Place. Remember it&#39;s Pike Place, not Pike&#39;s Place, the sure clue to Seattle-ites you&#39;re a tourist!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pncmla09.blogspot.com/feeds/8124660927747293588/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pncmla09.blogspot.com/2009/09/bakers-dozen-free-things-to-do-in.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848624176971494254/posts/default/8124660927747293588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848624176971494254/posts/default/8124660927747293588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pncmla09.blogspot.com/2009/09/bakers-dozen-free-things-to-do-in.html' title='A Baker&#39;s Dozen Free Things to Do in Seattle'/><author><name>Alison Aldrich</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03883637762449201255</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sk0Tvm6o5N8/SrHHBymkzhI/AAAAAAAAAA8/fObvbTw14dI/s72-c/2210301379_709f164df5_m.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848624176971494254.post-888346364602182041</id><published>2009-09-15T21:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T21:07:02.531-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bags"/><title type='text'>Save the Trees and Win a Prize!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;posted on behalf of Dolores Judkins and Linda Milgrom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check the back of your closets for old conference bags, and bring them to the PNC meeting. Bring one or more bags you&#39;ve collected at other meetings and events. Re-use one of yours, or swap with a friend for one more appealing. Donate bags to those folks who haven&#39;t been around long enough to have a closet full of bags. Enter one or more bags into the First Ever PNC/MLA Bag Contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Prizes will be awarded for bags in 5 categories:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1. From the conference (any conference but must be identified on the bag itself) held the longest ago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   2. From the conference held at the greatest distance from Seattle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   3. Bag with the most words on it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   4. Bag from the oldest PNC/MLA or national MLA meeting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   5. The ugliest all around bag&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   The first four categories are pretty objective, so any ties will be resolved by a drawing. The award for ugliest will be decided by those in attendance.

Nearly four million visitors attended the exposition which took place on the site of the current University of Washington (UW) campus in a landscape design created by the Olmsted brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AYPE showcased Washington as a gateway to the Pacific Rim, as well as Alaska and northwestern Canada, and included a huge variety of educational activities and amusement park diversions. The inspiration left in the Exposition&#39;s wake still saturates the region&#39;s culture. In the decade following the AYPE, the city opened a host of additional parks designed by the Olmsted firm, voted to create the Port of Seattle, constructed the Lake Washington Ship Canal and took flight with Boeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meeting attendees are invited to relive the days of the AYPE as the UW campus celebrates the centennial of the exposition which brought the world to Seattle. Join an informal walking tour of campus highlighting some of the historical AYPE sites on campus from 3:00-5:00pm on Sunday, October 18th.

What&#39;s that you say? You&#39;re not registered for the annual meeting yet? You can take care of that right away by looking at the &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://depts.washington.edu/pncmla/pncmla2009/&quot;&gt;official meeting website&lt;/a&gt; and filling out the &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.regonline.com/pncmla2009&quot;&gt;online registration form&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I&#39;d like to introduce you to our &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/pncmla09&quot;&gt;event page&lt;/a&gt; on the social networking site Yelp. &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://yelp.com/&quot;&gt;Yelp&lt;/a&gt; is a popular site for finding reviews of restaurants, parks, shopping venues, hotels, theaters, salons, you name it… in cities and neighborhoods across the country. Using Yelp is a good way move beyond the more touristy sites and see what’s popular with the locals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s a quick 4-minute screencast I made using &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.screentoaster.com/&quot;&gt;ScreenToaster&lt;/a&gt; to show you some of Yelp&#39;s nifty features.
