Subject: Western Association of Map Libraries meeting, March 21-23,
2002, UCalif, Santa Barbara
Sender: Mary Larsgaard <[log in to unmask]>
Here is the first announcement for the spring meeting of the
Western Association of Map Libraries (WAML) in Santa Barbara,
March 21-23, 2002, Davidson Library, University of California, Santa Barbara.
You need not be a member of WAML to attend.
We haven't figured out the registration costs yet
but probably it will be around $30.
We'll be setting up a Webpage within the next
month or so, and I'll announce the URL here.
I realize this is the same time as the meeting of
the Association of American Geographers; I had to
select a time at the end of spring quarter here,
in order that persons attending would be able
to find a place to park :-)
Theme: DIGITAL EARTH, PAPER EARTH
Meetings are in 8th floor conference room, Davidson Library, unless
otherwise noted.
Here is the tentative schedule; at this point, almost everything is subject
to at least slight change:-)
