Hi all,

The Evergreen 2014 Conference Program Committee is now accepting proposals to present at the conference!

The theme of this year's conference is "Together We Grow." The conference will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts from March 19-22, 2014.

There are three programming tracks, and we hope to have a broad spectrum of programming within these tracks.

* End user: best practices and techniques for using Evergreen in day-to-day library operations.
* General: programs on administration, training, making the decision to move to Evergreen, participating in the Evergreen community, and other topics related to using Evergreen and open source software in consortial and standalone environments.
* Technical: Topics related to system administration, software development, implementation, hardware, and integration with other software.

We are also seeking proposals for longer, two-to-three-hour tutorials to provide in-depth instruction in an area of interest. We would like this year's conference to include one tutorial on a technical topic and another one targeted for end users.

This year, the Program Committee is trying something new for the selection process. All submitted proposals will be posted for the community to review. After the submission deadline, we will then give prospective attendees the opportunity to let us know which sessions they would be likely to attend. This community feedback will be one factor in the Program Committee's selection process. The committee will also weigh other criteria in the selection process, including accommodating the needs of the various audiences attending the conference.

The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2013.

Full guidelines and instructions are available on the Evergreen web site at http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg14/proposals/.<http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg14/proposals/>

We look forward to the submissions!

Kathy Lussier
