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.

The third annual Evergreen International Conference will be held at the Decatur Holiday Inn and Conference Center in Decatur, Georgia on April 27 - 30, 2011.  Details about the conference may be found at the conference website: http://pines.georgialibraries.org/evergreen2011 

We continue to look forward to your submissions!
