From March 13-17, thousands of attendees with gather in San Diego, California for the 251st ACS National Meeting & Exposition.
With hundreds of sessions and thousands of papers and posters to see, the schedule can be overwhelming. Whether you are a first-time attendee or a veteran of the meeting, navigating the schedule is a feat in its own.
As ACS’ Library Relations Manager and a former science librarian myself, I’m naturally interested in sessions on data management, the role of libraries, and more. As I prepare for the National Meeting, these sessions are at the top of my list for chemistry librarians and information professionals.
