Sarah Burns (Pathfinder International) is coordinating a series of meet-ups where APLIC members can discuss topics of interest. The first one has been scheduled for July 15, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. ET.

The meetings will be hosted via GoToMeeting, with the link for the meeting being sent to members shortly before the event.

For further information, see the agenda

contact Sarah Burns.

At its Fall 2013 meeting, hosted by the Center for Communication Programs, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, the APLIC Board explored potential topics for our 47th annual conference. Sessions focusing on social KM, collaborative tools, and other common interests were discussed, and we’ll keep you informed as the program develops.

If you have any suggestions about a topic or issue that is highly relevant to our work as information professionals in the population studies arena, please communicate with Debra Dickson.  I look forward to seeing you in Boston.

APLIC members attending the SLA conference in New Orleans got together for dinner, and then met up again at the International Reception. We looked good at dinner, but forgot to take a picture. We got caught in one of those famous Southern rainstorms just before the International Reception, so we don’t look quite as good, but we did finally remember to take a picture. (Nancy Minter was also at SLA but unfortunately was not available for the picture.)

In addition to the APLIC conference (my favorite, of course) I also regularly attend the much larger SLA annual conference. Because SLA is so big, I thought it might be helpful to pick out a few programs that would be of particular interest to APLIC members. If you’ve spotted a good one I missed, please add it in the comments. I’d also like to have an APLIC get-together during the conference – watch for information on the APLIC listserv.
