The year 2013 will provide a unique opportunity to explore the global interdependency of health information at a federated international meeting incorporating the 2013 Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the Medical Library Association (MLA ’13), the 11th International Congress on Medical Librarianship (ICML), the 7th International Conference of Animal Health Information Specialists (ICAHIS), and the 6th International Clinical Librarian Conference (ICLC). The conference theme is: “One Health: Information in an Interdependent World”.

CDS has a Planning Committee. Because of the international, federated nature of the 2013 meeting and the long planning cycle, incoming CDS chair, Cecilia Botero, chaired the committee and was the lead planner for the first phase of planning (August 2011 – March 2012). From March 2012 – May 2013, incoming chair elect, Susan Kendall will chair the committee and serve as lead planner. Program Committee members include Deborah Blecic, Nadia Laila, and Christine Whittaker.
