The 2003 WAAL Conference will also give participants and presenters a great opportunity to enjoy the city of Milwaukee. Some of the events already planned are:
a "hard-hat" tour of the new Raynor Library on the Marquette University campus
an evening reception at the UWM Libraries that will include a tour of the American Geographical Society Library, a "swap-meet," poster sessions and an assortment of hors d'oeuvres and cocktails.
