[OPLINLIST] Right Click v.3.0 Call for Entries for TechnologyBestPracticesShowcase

[Laura Solomon]

 The OLC Information Technology Division is planning a showcase of "best
practices" for library technology, Wednesday, August 22 at the State Library
of Ohio. We believe your work deserves recognition. All 'library
technologists' are invited to share their unique solutions and practices
with their colleagues from around the state at TheRightClick v 3.0.

 

One of the greatest benefits of membership in OLC is the opportunity it
provides for meeting colleagues from around the state, learning from them,
and sharing ideas with them. Today's economic climate presses us even
further to come up with unique ideas and solutions. Your "best practice"
could be anything from "patron proofing" your equipment; innovative network
or Web site configurations; using handhelds or VoIP; giving old equipment a
new life-just to name a few possibilities. Whatever the configuration, we
believe that there are many good ideas around the state that deserve to be
shared.

 

We've got the date. We've reserved the room. We're only lacking one
resource: PRESENTERS! That's where you come in. Don't be shy. Be PROUD of
your accomplishments and take advantage of this unique opportunity. Enter
your idea today by responding to the questions enclosed with this invitation
and be a featured guest at TheRightClick v 3.0: OLC Information Technology
Division's Showcase of Best Practices. 

 

On a separate piece of paper, answer each of the following questions. You
may include with your entry any pamphlets, flyers, brochures, photos, news
releases that will allow the committee to make a good decision about the
inclusion of your "best practice". Be certain to include your name, your
library, the library mailing address, and fax and e-mail contact
information. If your program is selected, you will attend the showcase as a
guest of the Information Technology Division. You will be scheduled to make
a 15-20 minute presentation at the showcase on August 22. 

 

Send your entry to Wayne Piper, Director of Professional Development, at the
Ohio Library Council by e-mail ( <mailto:wpiper at olc.org> wpiper at olc.org),
fax (614) 416-2270, or mail (OLC, 2 Easton Oval, Suite 525, Columbus, OH
43219-6036). Entries will be accepted no later than May 12, 2007. 

 

1.      In 25 words or less, describe the program or service you would like
to showcase. 

 

2.      Provide details on the program including, but no limited to, your
source of inspiration, the need you were trying to fill, any funding you
obtained to support the project, and the patron response to the project. 

 

3.      Give us your best reasons for selecting your program for the best
practice showcase.

 

4.      What would you like your colleagues to learn from your presentation?

 

About six weeks before the showcase, the OLC office will assist you with the
guidelines for the structure of your presentation and the format for your
handouts. If you have any questions about this form or the showcase itself,
please contact Wayne Piper, Director of Professional Development at the Ohio
Library Council ( <mailto:wpiper at olc.org> wpiper at olc.org), Glen Horton,
