59th Annual Wisconsin Student Nursing Association Conference, Wisconsin Dells
The Wisconsin Health Sciences Library Association (WHSLA) again exhibited at the Wisconsin Student Nurses’ Annual Convention (WSNA), which was held this year on February 2, 2008, at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells, WI. About 300 nursing students, faculty, and nursing leaders from across Wisconsin attended the meeting. The WHLSA table included the GMR’s briefcase display with screenshots of NLM online resources, a laptop connected to the Internet for demonstrations of online resources, and several giveaways including NLM bookmarks and pens, and WHSLA brochures and magnetic clips.
Raffle prizes, including a Littmann stethoscope and a Taber’s medical dictionary donated by WHSLA, helped to generate enthusiasm and increase attendance at the booth. This event was planned by the WHSLA Outreach Committee, Ulrike Dieterle, Brenda Fay, and Sue Coenen.
This project has been funded in whole or in part with federal funds from the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health under Contract # NO1-LM-6-3503.
