35th Annual Conference of the Canadian
Health Libraries Association/Association des
bibliothèques de la santé du Canada (CHLA /
ABSC) May 26-30, 2011

Sustain, Evolve, Transform health librarianship in Cal-
gary, 2011, at the 35th Annual Conference of the Canadian
Health Libraries Association / Association des bibliothè-
ques de la santé du Canada (CHLA / ABSC). We invite
you to join us for a discussion on how we can sustain our
collections, evolve our profession, and transform our prac-
tices to meet the needs of a new generation of health li-
brary users.

Calgary, home to the innovative Taylor Family Digital Library, where libraries, museums and archives converge, is the ideal location to consider how librarianship will be sustained, evolved, and transformed. The Hyatt Regency Hotel, our conference venue, is located on the historic Stephen Avenue mall where you can stroll, shop, enjoy outdoor cafes, and visit the Glenbow Museum. The CTrain, which provides easy access to all of Calgary, is less than one block away. The Hyatt, which has just undergone a multi-million dollar renovation, houses an extensive original art collection and uses sustainable Bullfrog energy. The Hyatt is also home to the elegant Thomsons Restaurant, one of the “Top 10 Places to Dine” in Calgary, and the Stillwater Spa, Calgary’s only full-service hotel spa.

Attend a leadership Continuing Education program at the internationally renowned Banff Centre. Or, join your colleagues in Banff for a day of hiking, shopping, or afternoon tea at Banff's other internationally renowned icon, the Banff Springs Hotel.

Our keynote speakers, Joanne Marshall, Dr. Eddy Lang, and Dr. Bonnie Buntain, will cover diverse topics such as

evidence-based practice, knowledge translation, and one
health. The social program starts with an opening reception
at the Taylor Family Digital Library and concludes with a
banquet hosted by Ovid Technologies at the Conference
Hotel. In true prairie fashion, we also invite musicians
and music lovers to join us after the banquet for a music
jam session in the Hyatt's glass and limestone atrium.

Since Calgary also has more kilometres of trails than any
city in North America, join us each day for a walk or run
along the river. After all, we expect you to be in top shape
for our exciting speakers, conference presenters, and all the
great food...

We are delighted to welcome you to Calgary and to have
you join us in learning more about Sustaining, Evolving,
and Transforming our profession.
