funding, and future directions. I found it amazing and
encouraging how well university labs developed over the
last ten years, how hard involved faculty and their lab
staff (if any) work to match the ever broading research
and/or educational needs of their departments and institutions,
and how aware we all are of long-term financial needs and
ramifications. Besides our informal discussions, the above
was eminently proved by the excellent quality of papers presented.

I would like to thank again Prof. Kevin Walsh and his team at the
U. of Louisville, KY for the excellent organization and a great venue.
As a member of the UGIM Steering Committee, I would like to inform
you that representatives from Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN),
Prof. Tim Sands, Director of the Birck Nanotechnology Center, and
John Weaver, Facility Manager, accepted to organize the next symposium,
UGIM 2010. Look for further information and call for papers in about a
year here on the labnetwork list.
Until then, we will communicate, as we have been for the past 13 years,
through labnetwork at mtl.mit.edu. Do not hesitate sending questions to
the community, people involved in running university labs, and offering
your assistance if you know the answer. We all deal with similar
problems; why not help each other? Pls encourage others who are in
the same boat, to sign up.
Thank you, Prof. Duane Boning of MIT, for maintaining the
labnetwork list. Automatic sign up is at
https://www-mtl.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo.cgi/labnetwork
or by sending mail to majordomo at mtl.mit.edu with "subscribe
labnetwork" as the body, or simply mail labnetwork at mit.edu.
The old "Laboratories Subway" list of labs, is at
http://www-mtl.mit.edu/semisubway/fabs_subway.html.
It is somewhat dated; however, if you do not see your lab on it
pls write to labnetwork at mit.edu and, time permitting, your facility
will appear on it.
Finally, here is the updated list of the UGIM Steering Committee:
Dr. Greg Cibuzar, Chair (cibuzar at umn.edu)
Dr. Kevin Walsh, Past Conference Chair (walsh at louisville.edu)
Dr. Tim Sands, 2010 Conference Chair (tsands at purdue.edu)
Dr. Lynn Fuller, Honorary At Large (lffeee at rit.edu)
Dr. Rob Pierce, At Large (repemc at rit.edu)
Katalin Voros, At Large (voros at eecs.berkeley.edu)
John Wood, At Large (wood at me.unm.edu)
Sincerely
Katalin Voros

I would like to echo Katalin's praise for the UGIM. I did not know
about this meeting until this year, and was very impressed. I had to
miss the Sunday sessions due to a prior commitment, and feel that I
missed a lot. Fortunately, Tim Sands was there and filled me in on
several key topics.
I'm excited to be the host of the next meeting. I hope that we can live
up to the standard set by the UofL team!
I have a question for the group. As I'm beginning the planning for the
2010 conference, I have received input that we might want to expand the
Lab Managers' Preconference to a full-day conference session. This
full-day session would include two presentation/roundtable sessions, one
on lab management and one on lab financing/recharge. These would be
followed by in-depth tours of the Birck Nanotechnology Center and its
infrastructure. If we expanded this to an all-day session, it would
seem logical to begin it Monday morning, thus pushing the rest of the
conference back one day. While this is a decision for the UGIM Steering
Committee, I think it would be good to hear the thoughts of the rest of
the group on this issue.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions,
John Weaver

Dear Colleagues:
Last month we had a very interesting and successful UGIM; those of you
who were there can testify. We had great discussions on all aspects of
university labs management, funding, and future directions. I found it
amazing and encouraging how well university labs developed over the last
ten years, how hard involved faculty and their lab staff (if any) work
to match the ever broading research and/or educational needs of their
departments and institutions, and how aware we all are of long-term
financial needs and ramifications. Besides our informal discussions, the
above was eminently proved by the excellent quality of papers presented.
