2013 MLA Annual Conference, Boston

The 2013 MLA Annual Meeting and Exhibition was held from May 3-8 in Boston, MA with the theme: "One Health: Information in an Interdependent World."

It was a historic meeting for MLA as it was the first of its kind to incorporate three international conferences in one venue [the 11th International Congress on Medical Librarianship (ICML), the 7th International Conference of Animal Health Information Specialists (ICAHIS), and the 6th International Clinical Librarian Conference (ICLC)]

The Boston Marathon bombings also occurred a month earlier. Hawaii folks were eager to show their support for Boston but only three members were able to attend MLA 2013.
