MLA 2008 - Call For Program Proposals

Greetings Colleagues:

As the Technical Services section representative to the MLA Conference Program Planning Committee, I encourage you to submit program proposals for the 2008 Annual Conference which will be held November 19-21 at the Sheraton in Bloomington, MN. The theme of the 2008 Conference is: To Explore, To Evolve, To Excel…Together.

We asked for your program ideas at the 2007 Technical Services Meeting for the 2008 Conference, and I’ve listed them below for your review:
  • Workflow
  • RDA/FRBR Update
  • Digital Initiatives – Basics (how to set up a project, etc).
Even if you do not submit a session proposal, I welcome your suggestions for topics and/or speakers!

To submit a session proposal, please complete the Session Proposal Form with as much info as possible and

(1) submit it to sessionproposal@mnlibraryassociation.org by March 12 AND

(2) send a copy to me (ring0089@umn.edu) so I’m aware of what has been submitted and can advocate for our Technical Services programs at the Conference Planning Committee meetings. Although the final deadline is April 11, session proposals submitted by March 12 will be discussed at our March 14 meeting.

Thank you,

Sara Ring
TSS Chair-Elect
