[Libs-Or] ACRL-Oregon sponsorship of OLA Annual Conference programs

[Trott, Garrett]

ACRL-Oregon is looking to sponsor a few good programs!

The Oregon Library Association recently sent out the call for proposals for the OLA 2009 conference, which will take place April 1-3, 2009 at the Salem Conference Center.  ACRL-Oregon would like to encourage and support academic library-oriented programs at OLA.  This is an opportunity to get feedback about a program idea, or potentially get ideas of other speakers who might be interested in a similar topic.

ACRL-Oregon is open to considering a broad range of program ideas; we also specifically would be interested in sponsoring programs on the following topics (based on feedback from prior OLA conference programs):


o    Web 2.0 - especially how to apply/implement effectively at your library; how to use Web 2.0 to engage students

o    Freshman orientation programs

o    Statistics / working with data; using tools such as SPSS or Google Analytics

o    Technical Services

o    Collection Development

The OLA program proposal form is available online at:  https://web.memberclicks.com/mc/quickForm/viewForm.do?orgId=ola&formId=48099.  Also check out the Best Practices for Preconference and Program Proposals:  http://data.memberclicks.com/site/ola/conf_bestpractices.pdf for tips on preparing a successful proposal.

When completing the OLA program proposal, you are required to identify a Primary Sponsoring Group (such as ACRL-Oregon).  As program sponsors, ACRL-Oregon endorses the program, and we will introduce the program and offer assistance on the day of the session; however sponsorship does not include financial sponsorship of program expenses.  OLA does provide a laptop, screen, projector, and other equipment (see 2009 Conference equipment list: http://data.memberclicks.com/site/ola/equipmentlistOLA2009Conference.pdf) for each program.

The deadline for submitting an OLA program proposal is Monday, September 22, 2008.

Please contact Garrett Trott at gtrott at corban.edu<mailto:gtrott at corban.edu> or 503-589-8116 if you are interested in seeking ACRL-Oregon sponsorship for an OLA Annual conference program.
