Happy New Year to all!
The 2011 Evergreen International Conference planning team continues to accept
presentation proposals for the conference. We have received fewer than 10
submissions so far but we are hopeful for more. If you have been waiting in
the wings for your moment to shine, here it is!
There are three programming tracks, and we hope to have a broad spectrum of
programming within each track:
1) Front line - Best practices and techniques
for using Evergreen in day-to-day library operations
2) Administration - programs targeted at managers and administrators seeking
information
about the feasibility, cost issues, and other topics related to using
Evergreen and open
source software in consortial and standalone environments
3) Technology - Issues of interest related to system administration,
software development,
implementation, hardware, and integration with other software
Presentation sessions will be 55 minutes in length - multi-part presentations
will be considered if your presentation requires more time. All presenters can
expect a laptop with Web access and PowerPoint, a computer projector and a
microphone.
*Proposal guidelines:*
1) All submissions must include a session title, short description
appropriate for the conference program (no more than 200 words), and the
names, institutions, job titles and email addresses of those who will be
presenting the material at the conference.
2) Note your intended track (Tech, Administration and Front Line Users) and
presumed technical level of your audience.
3) Let us know of any accessibility requirements.
Please submit your proposals at the following site:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7R7MSMF before 5:00 p.m. EST on January 14, 2011.
