SLA Kentucky Chapter

2009 Joint Spring Conference

Mailings were recently sent out inviting people to the 2009 Joint Spring Conference.  This conference is put together each year by the KLA Academic Library Section, the KLA Special Library Section, and the SLA Kentucky Chapter.

This year the conference will be on April 1-3 at the Barren River State Resort Park.  If you didn't get mailed the information, leave a comment and I'll see if I can find someone to send you the details.

In any case, the main reason I am posting this is that I needed a better spot to set up the PayPal buttons for those who wanted to pay their registration fees with a credit card.  Please fill out the online registration form first: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=9BJawb3k5Y_2b7E3wv_2fydBlQ_3d_3d.

And then come back and pay here:

Medpedia - Web 2.0 meets Medicine

Rather than retyping my analysis of this new site here, I'll point you to the write-up I did for Stephen Arnold at Arnold IT.  Medpedia has a good foundation for a great new Web 2.0 collaborative venture in the medical realm.
