*_Michiana Scholarly Communication Librarianship Conference_*
2014 theme: Scholarly Communication on a Shoestring: Launching
scholarly communication programs at small and medium-sized university
libraries
Indiana University South Bend and Saint Mary's College are proud to
announce the *Michiana Scholarly Communication Librarianship
Conference*, to be held on October 20, 2014. The only conference aimed
specifically at small and mid-sized university libraries, the Michiana
Scholarly Communication Librarianship Conference is ideal for librarians
at institutions interested in launching a scholarly communication
program. It is also a great opportunity for librarians currently
working with scholarly communication initiatives to network and share
experiences, best practices and ideas. This conference will feature

well as smaller roundtable discussions.
