[OPLINLIST] TechConnections 2010 Call for Proposals

[SWON Libraries]

*This announcement has been posted to several lists.  Our apologies for 
any duplication.
*****************************************************************************

Proposals are now being accepted for the 11th annual TechConnections 
Conference. This year's event will take place May 11-12, 2010 at the 
State Library of Ohio.  TechConnections is a great opportunity for 
library staff to share their knowledge and experiences with others in 
the their community.  Please consider submitting a proposal for 2010.

This year we are accepting proposals for two different types of programs:

1) 45-minute sessions on topics relating to technology in libraries. 
These sessions may be led by a single speaker or use a group/panel 
format.  So proposals with multiple co-presenters are welcome.

2) 20-minute sessions that allow libraries to showcase technologies they 
have implemented.  Libraries are encouraged to demonstrate their 
innovative projects, gadgets, and services.  This is your chance to show 
off your tricked-out library space, high-tech equipment, or cool 
web-based service.  There will also be an area for presenters to spend 
some hands-on, one-on-one time with attendees outside of the sessions.

If there's a technology vendor that you've worked with or would simply 
like a chance to see at the conference, let us know.  We plan to invite 
some vendors to conference as another opportunity for attendees to see 
new stuff.

Take a look at the sessions from the past few year to see what kinds of 
topics have been presented in the past:
