    Presentation: Canadian Health Libraries Association 2009

    June 5th, 2009

    We just returned from the CHLA/ABSC 2009 annual conference in Winnipeg, MB this year, and we had a great time! The CIHC Library was very well received, our presentation (rushed just a tiny bit at the end!) went smoothly and we got some great questions and met a ton of supportive librarians along the way. The slides are now available on Slideshare, so feel free to take a look!
