"Geoscience Librarianship 101" is back! Our popular professional
development seminar will be held in conjunction with the GSIS Annual
Meeting for the fifth consecutive year. Registration is now open -- see

need to be registered for the GSA Annual Meeting to participate. But
space is limited, so sign up early to avoid disappointment.
