*The Michigan Instruction Exchange (MIX) is looking for a college or university library to host MIX 2018, a biennial, statewide conference that focuses on academic library instruction. This one-day conference takes place in August during even-numbered years. Please contact us if your institution would like to host the MIX conference in August 2018.The host institution will have significant control over conference content and should consider the following factors before volunteering. - Low cost meeting space availability. Depending on the needs of the conference, there may be a need for a large room for all 50-100 attendees as well as a potential need for smaller rooms nearby if breakout sessions are desirable.- Local commitment to hosting a conference.- Possibilities for coordinating lunchPast organizers acknowledge that this may be short notice for some institutions. This year past organizers were able to secure funding to support the conference from the Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA) through the Instruction and Information Literacy Interest Group. The previous MIX organizers are grateful for this support. It is anticipated that the host institution may not have to provide much funding on their own and will have some support from the MiALA Instruction and Information Literacy Interest Group.
