With various institutions and organizations cutting back on travel, the blog will be a great resource for non-attendees to keep up with the events at the Annual Meeting. It is important to have as many people blogging as possible to cover as many aspects of the convention.
The blog URL is http://npc.mlanet.org/mla09/ and the post with the official call for bloggers is there as well.
The blogger application is linked from the blog. The deadline is April 24, 2009. Results will be announced May 1, 2009.
