[OPLINLIST] Performer recommendations needed for new performer directory for Ohio libraries

[jdwyer at library.ohio.gov]

Cross-posted. Please excuse duplication.

I've received several requests for a performer directory for Ohio libraries, so let's try crowdsourcing one! Any Ohio library worker who wishes to recommend a performer or other program presenter can complete this form:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OH_performer_recommendation

You may complete the form multiple times if you have multiple performers/presenters to recommend. The form will remain open indefinitely, so you can also add recommendations in the future.

Once we get a few dozen submissions, the form responses will be available as a spreadsheet that you can view or download and sort by type of program, audience age range, or any other field. This spreadsheet will include exclusively individuals and groups recommended by Ohio public librarians and library workers. It will be updated regularly as more recommendations are submitted.

Please submit only performers/presenters whose work you are directly familiar with and who you would recommend to other Ohio libraries, and who are willing/able to travel to other Ohio libraries to do their programs.

The form asks for this info (asterisk indicates answer is required):

  *   Your contact information (will not be included in directory unless you choose to include a signed recommendation)
  *   *Performer / Programmer name
  *   Performer / Programmer contact person (if different from above)
  *   Performer / Programmer website
  *   Performer / Programmer additional contact info
  *   Performer / Programmer location (city, state)
  *   *Type of program - e.g. music, science, etc. - there is a list of choices and an "Other" option
  *   *Program description
  *   *Audience age range
  *   *Program fee / price range
  *   If known: Is fee negotiable? Is a multiple booking discount available? Is mileage / travel an additional charge?
  *   Additional comments

There is also an opportunity to provide a free-text signed recommendation if you choose to.

I'll post an update to the same listservs when the spreadsheet is published, and it will be linked from the Ohio Summer Library Program page<https://library.ohio.gov/libraries/library-programs-and-development/summer-library-program/summer-library-program> on the State Library website.

Thanks in advance for helping to build this new directory of recommended performers!

Sincerely,
Janet
