[TUCKER-RAYMOND Caleb]

Everyone, 

The time is nigh!

Registration for the 2009 Oregon Virtual Reference Summit is now open.

www.oregonlibraries.net/summit/2009/register

Join us Friday May 8th at the McMenamin's Kennedy School in Portland to
hear from great speakers, discuss virtual reference and for people in
Oregon staffing virtual reference services to meet one another. 

Registration is $25 for L-net partner library staff members and $50 for
everyone else.

Our invited speaker is Answerland pioneer Eva Miller, a 2004 Library
Journal "Mover and Shaker" and a skilled user experience designer and
strategist who enjoys creating solutions that meet the needs of the
client, the customer, and the brand.

We will also hear from panelists discussing:

 * New technologies for reference service 
 * The impact of technology on teachers, students and libraries
 * Getting organizational buy-in for virtual reference service

And there's more! All attendees are invited to give a 5-minute
"lightning talk" to share what YOU know with the group. 

If you are an L-net partner library, or if you are not, if you are
already staffing virtual reference, or if you are at all interested in
technology and library public service, I hope to see you there.
