[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Interest in Consortium Leaders Meeting at the Evergreen Conference?

[Grace Dunbar]

Good morning,

The conference team received some inquiries this year regarding what could
be done to make the conference more relevant for leaders of large consortiums
.  Several of us discussed how we could facilitate some discussions without
creating a completely insular standalone track of programing.

With some last minute magic from Beth Longwell, we think we can fit in
"director's
breakfast sessions" on Thursday and Friday mornings.  We envision these
would be open roundtable sessions that would be focused on the issues
primarily facing large consortiums using Evergreen.

Some ideas for topics to cover each morning would be:
attracting new libraries/retaining membership; ongoing training; managing
upgrades and expectations; budgeting for IT and development; how to talk
about open source to the people who control your budget, etc.

In order to ensure we have satisfactory space, please indicate your
interest by replying to this email or emailing me directly.

Thanks!
Grace
