Registration Cost - Free!
Registration Link - http://necode4lib2015.eventbrite.com
Planning Committee - Matt Bernhardt (matt.j.bernhardt@gmail.com), Jeremy Prevost (jprevost@mit.edu), Joe Montibello (joseph.montibello@dartmouth.edu), Matt Sherman (matt.r.sherman@gmail.com), Abigail Baines (abaines@hampshire.edu), Jennifer Eustis (Jennifer.Eustis@lib.uconn.edu), Sharon Clapp (sclapp@ccsu.edu), Andromeda Yelton (andromeda.yelton@gmail.com), David Mayo (pobocks@gmail.com), Maura Carbone (mauraa@brandeis.edu), Christina Harlow (cmh2166@columbia.edu)
Logistics
Transportation
- MIT can be reached by car, train, or bus.
- If you are going to drive all the way to campus, MIT's parking information can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/facilities/transportation/parking/visitors/public_parking.html
- Another popular option is to take the MBTA red line to campus, and get off at the Kendall/MIT stop. From there, it is a relatively short walk to building 34. On the map link above, the Kendall/MIT stop is just outside building E38. Parking is also available at the terminal stations on the red line - the easiest to reach if you are coming from outside Boston is probably Alewife in Arlington.
- If you're arriving via bus, there are a number of lines that run by campus. Consult the MBTA website (or Google Maps) for more information.
- We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.
Hotels
- If you're looking for a hotel room the night before / after, there are two hotels near campus - the Kendall Hotel and Marriott Hotel, both on Main Street. There is no block of rooms, however, so please make whatever arrangements make sense for you.
