Annual Meetings
Annual meetings are one of the most valuable benefits of participating in the Library Pooled Fund. During the two-day meeting and conference, Technical Advisory Committee members take stock of their accomplishments during the year, look ahead to the coming year and share best practices and challenges. In addition, invited guests from around the country make presentations on topics of direct interest to transportation librarians. The presentations are also made available via Webcast.
