[Answerland-summit] Promotion Push Time!

Thu Jan 7 14:57:53 PST 2021

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Natalie!

Everyone on the team should have received the Dec 29th email about Spring
sessions and filling out the survey; please let me know if you didn't
receive it! I want to make sure the Former Attendees email list is as
up-to-date as possible.

We have only received five survey responses and six January registrations
so far, but I think a lot of people are just coming back to work and seeing
the email this week and next.

My suggestion for the promo is below. Please edit as desired and sign up to
post the info somewhere
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g3tKH-64Cr-_q5CP_RGgn0yPs_4Si-hbRrxMiCVhAF0/edit?usp=sharing>!
One quick branding note as we publicize: Though we are a virtual version of
the Oregon Reference Summit, we are *not* the Oregon Virtual Reference
Summit as that was a different event. We are *Oregon Reference Summit
presents...* or just *Oregon Reference Summit.*
______________________________________
The Oregon Reference Summit presents a new lineup of free webinars; the
first is just a couple of weeks away! Here is what you can look forward to;
check tinyurl.com/OrRS2021 for more information and updates:

*Thursday, January 21, 10:30-11:30 am  *
*Legal Reference in the Age of COVID: How Do You Respond?*
Sue Ludington, Lane County Law Library

   - Legal reference questions are a special breed. During a year-long
   pandemic, figuring out how to best assist patrons with their (often
   intense) legal reference needs is especially difficult. This session will
   look at reference interview strategies and scripts for effectively
   responding to patrons legal questions. *Register now!
