<u>Description</u><br>
The Mid-Michigan Digital Practitioners group (MMDP) is an award-winning regional collective of librarians, archivists, museum curators, conservators, historians, scholars, educators, and students engaged in creating and curating digital collections in Mid-Michigan

This free one-day pre-conference event will take the place of the regularly scheduled 2018 Spring MMDP meeting and bring the normal two-day full experience of that meeting to attendees of the MiALA Annual Conference. This is a great opportunity to learn more
about MMDP and build bridges of collaboration with the MiALA community.<br>
