[OPLINLIST] TheRightClick 3.0 Call for Entries - Best Practices in Library Technology

[SWON Libraries]

The Right Click

 

The Ohio Library Council's Information Technology Division 
<http://www.TheRightClick.info> 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.

 

*This call for entries is open to all types of libraries.  We also 
encourage libraries from outside Ohio to participate.*


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.
