Hello, Just curious. Do you have any plans to capture the conference? That is to say, will recordings of presentation and/or presentation materials be made available online from the regional conference?
Thanks! From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rogan Hamby Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 10:50 AM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] SEREC (South East Regional Evergreen Conference) As some in the community know we in the South East have been interested in a regional Evergreen conference. We are pretty close to making it official but are polling potential participants in local installations and consortiums for more feedback. This is not meant to be any kind of replacement for the international conference each year but while that has a lot of focus on it for library administrators, policy makers and systems staff we wanted something that would be cheaper, more accessible for front line staff and content more meaningful for them. And within SCLENDS and NC Cardinal neither of us have a single in consortium event that fills that need. So, this event is currently being organized by myself and the State Libraries of South Carolina and North Carolina but will be open to anyone who wants to attend. We are organizing it in Rock Hill, SC which has reasonable accommodations and is easy to travel to and we envision low fees (roughly $20 for attendance) with a lot of focus on front line users. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MVC5ZKN We are using this survey to measure interest so that we can look at variables such as the number of rooms to book in the conference's block and identify specific high interest workshops that we might need multiples of. (I think acquisitions is already a given!) I hope by then to lead one myself on inventories! So, if you think you would attend, or if you can speak for a group such as your staff, please respond and help us with this planning stage. If this is successful we envision this as a regular annual event in February of each year. -- Rogan Hamby, MLS, CCNP, MIA Managers Headquarters Library and Reference Services, York County Library System "You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." ― C.S.
