SAVE THE DATE! – June 22-23, 2017 – HLABC AGM and Continuing Education Event

by | 4 May 2017

Please save the dates for the HLABC AGM and Summer Continuing Education event on Thursday June 22nd and Friday June 23rd. The location will be Woodward Library @ University of British Columbia Vancouver.  Options for online participation will also be available.

We are trying something a little different this year and we hope some of the members outside of the Lower Mainland will be able to join us in person for this special two-day educational opportunity.  Following the HLABC-specific events and AGM, HLABC members are warmly invited to join an in-depth workshop on systematic reviews, to be given by Mimi Doyle-Waters of the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation.  We expect the cost for HLABC members to be minimal, thanks to Woodward Library’s generous sponsorship of this event.  Our thanks to Woodward Library for opening this event up to all HLABC members!

Please let us know if you are interested in presenting!

We have reserved time for some very quick 5 min presentations in order to help us kick off our AGM with updates from members. We’re leaving the theme broad so that we can hear back about a range of experiences, but some ideas include innovative teaching and learning techniques, new or effective service models and projects, interesting resources and tools, and updates to library spaces. We would love to hear about what you’ve tried, what has been successful, what has failed (and any useful outcomes), and hopeful plans for the future. The format is 5 slides (maximum) in 5 minutes. Timing will be strictly kept (and may involve jingle bells and noisemakers). Please let Helen Brown (helen.l.brown@ubc.ca) know by Friday May 19th if you are interested in presenting!
