or those staying the French Quarter or Garden District, the St. Charles streetcar is the easiest way to get to Tulane. Catch the streetcar heading uptown and ask the driver to let you off at Tulane. When you exit the streetcar, you will be at the entrance to the university (A). The conference itself will be held in the Freeman Auditorium (room 205) in the Woldenberg Art Center (B). You can also download and print a PDF version of Tulane's campus map.

ttendees at the conference may want to budget extra time to work in Tulane's renowned Latin American Library. The library is located on the 4th floor of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library (HTML). For queries about the collection or to notify the staff in advance of your visit, you can contact librarian Paul Bary. The HTML is located half way between the entrance to the university (A) and the Woldenberg Art Center (B).
