Michigan Evergreen “On the Road”
In April, Michigan Evergreen staff Megan Dudek and Evette Atkin presented a program at the Evergreen International Conference 2011 held in Decatur, GA, April 27-30. Their program on the governance structure of Michigan Evergreen was attended by 35 people and stimulated discussion of Evergreen governance models.  On May 6, Megan and Evette presented “Evergreen Goes Academic” at the 2011 Academic Librarians Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Future Michigan Evergreen presentations include a session at 2011 MLA Tech Escape in East Lansing on May 20 and a program at MLA’s Annual Conference in Kalamazoo in October.
