<p>It's that time of year again to volunteer to vie with your colleagues on the field of Battle(decks) at the OLC Convention and Expo in October!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are still a few openings for those who would like to test their skills and try to become Grand Champion of the 2014 Buckeye Battledecks competition to be held Wed., Oct. 8, 8-11pm, at the OLC Convention and Expo: </p>

<p>Battledecks is a test of nerves and the ultimate challenge for a public speaker (or someone who just likes to talk). Contestants attempt to deliver a presentation on the fly using a set of random, never-before-seen (and often hilarious) slides. Judging is
based on the ability to create a "coherent" presentation that incorporates slide content smoothly, gets laughs, generates audience participation, and successfully covers all of the slides on time.</p>
<p><br>
So, if you would like the chance to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of your fellow librarians...</p>

<p>(Okay, maybe not quite that dramatic, but you *will* receive the accolades of the crowd and have fun! Further details and logistics will be emailed to all contestants later in September.)<br>
