Highlights about our 2010 conference

1. The NAHSL 2010 Planning Committee blog is located at http://nahsl2010inri.blogspot.com/ and is linked from NAHSL’s live blog, http://nahsl.wordpress.com/.

2. The Planning Committee has decided to forego the Monday night banquet and have an extended “cocktail hour” with food instead. This will allow conference participants to enjoy the local restaurants in Newport.

3. Four speakers have been lined up for the event so far. They are:

· Lee Raine-will speak about the Internet and health
· Dr. John Halamka – will speak, possibly, on the Electronic Health Record (TBA)
· David Rothman- will speak about Web2.0
· Anca Novacovici- will speak about Green libraries

4. Possible breakout sessions include Elaine Martin speaking about the value of libraries and a panel discussion with Dr. Brian Alper, a nurse and a librarian discussing similarities and difference of EBM vs. EBN. Other breakouts have yet to be determined.

5. The Planning Committee is working on ideas for the 2009 promotional table they will be decorating and the invitational gifts they will be distributing at the Executive Board meeting this October.
