The Greater Western Libraries Alliance (GWLA) meeting is on Monday and Tuesday next week. This is the annual fall meeting of the group, and it is the first time to meet in Columbia, MO. Some of the GWLA directors will be taking a tour of Ellis Library at 1:30 p.m. on Monday. There is an open program on “Reinventing Reference” scheduled for Monday at 2:30pm in Reynolds Alumni Center, Columns A & B, with a reception to follow. This program is open to library staff. We hope everyone will do their best to welcome the deans and directors of the GWLA libraries to MU.
