[Jonathan Furr]

Hello Evergreen Community!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that everyone is looking
forward to a new year and the Evergreen Conference in April!

We have received a handful of proposals so far and the current list of
proposals can be viewed here
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xtevFctlcXKsJ-32yAo_ZBqX2CEW_m5VFObHowKcfMQ/edit?usp=sharing>.
If you have been waiting for the new year to submit a proposal, now is the
time.  The deadline to submit proposals is still Friday, January 15, 2016.
We hope to announce the full list of programs by February 1, 2016.

If you want to present, but are unsure of a topic, we have received several
suggestions/requests for presentations.  Here are some of the topics:

   -

   Training/Documentation for Patrons
   -

   Reader Privacy
   -

   OPAC
   -

   Introduction to the Evergreen Community
   -

   Researching Patron Questions (i.e. bills, holds, etc.)
   -

   Addressing Issues with Bib Records & Cataloging from an End User
   Standpoint
   -

   Cataloging Best Practices
   -

   De-Duplication Efforts


The majority of the program requests we have received are for the End User
track.  In light of this, we strongly encourage any and all Evergreen
front-line/end users who have ideas for presentations to submit a
proposal.  For a more extensive list of possible program ideas from past
conferences, please visit the conference website

   appropriate for the conference program (no more than 200 words), and the
   names, institutions, job titles and email addresses of those who will be
