Goin' to Kansas City! *
OLAC-MOUG 2014
When: October 23-26, 2014
Where: Kansas City, Missouri
Join us at the joint OLAC-MOUG Conference in Kansas City on October 23-26, 2014! The theme of this joint conference is A/V Cataloging at the Crossroads, and there couldn’t be a better place to meet. Kansas City was founded in 1838 as the Town of Kansas at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas rivers and was a “cross-roads” for many a trail heading west. Yes, the city crosses both states (so don’t panic when landing at the airport MCI in Missouri, thinking you need to be in Kansas!). At the conference you will find wonderful presentations, workshops, and poster sessions to help us all traverse those crossroads.
Come for some “extra-curricular” activities as well. The conference is to be held at the Kansas City Marriott overlooking the Country Club Plaza, a premier shopping and entertainment district, which is also near the historic Westport area. Kansas City is well known for its contributions to the musical styles of jazz and blues, its numerous fountains, and its local cuisine, notably Kansas City-style barbecue. The University of Missouri--Kansas City (UMKC) Miller Nichols Library is not far from the conference venue, and includes collections of interest in the Marr Sound Archives, the Music/Media Library and the LaBudde Special Collections Department. The Kansas City area is home to numerous colleges, universities, and archives. Other local attractions include The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, the American Jazz Museum, Arabia Steamboat Museum, Hallmark Visitors Center, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and the Liberty Memorial, and much more.
* Yes, a footnote! "Kansas City" is a rhythm and blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1952, and starts with “I'm goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come…”
