I'm pleased to report that the Program & Abstracts booklet from the Charleston meeting of the American Malacological Society is now available as a PDF download from the AMS web site:
http://erato.acnatsci.org/ams/

The meeting featured an astonishing 43 papers and posters dealing with freshwater gastropods.  Below you will find a complete list, together with the page each abstract appears in the Program booklet.

Enjoy!
