She has\u00c2\u00a0served as Cyamus&#8217; regional representative, IAMSLIC President and Chair of the Aquatic Commons Board. Her\u00c2\u00a0most treasured memory of her time in this organization was being part of a group of Cyamus members who ventured to Baja California in the 1990&#8217;s to make connections with marine science librarians there. After retiring from the MLML\/MBARI Research Library last December, Joan has\u00c2\u00a0returned to her\u00c2\u00a0roots of field biology, especially bird watching. She is\u00c2\u00a0delighted that IAMSLIC is returning to Mexico for its annual conference. Although she\u00c2\u00a0will not be attending the entire conference, while there, Joan looks forward to many conversations about the Aquatic Commons.<\/p>\n<p>Joan will be co-presenting with Steve Watkins<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Title<\/span>:\u00c2\u00a0Aquatic Commons and LibraryBox project update<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Abstract<\/span>: \u00c2\u00a0Joan and Steve will be giving a brief demonstration and update on this LibraryBox project at the conference.<\/p>\n<p>Posted on behalf of the communications team by Stephanie Ronan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear all, It&#8217;s the final countdown!
