[Answerland] Free Virtual Reference Conference Feb 25-27

[STARKSMITH Gesse * SLO]

Hi All,

I wanted to let you know that the recordings of all of the NAVROC sessions are now freely available on their website<https://www.navronline.org/archives/2025-program>.

I found a lot of these sessions to be really useful and encourage you to explore them as you have time! I'd especially recommend "Take a closer look: The efficacy of dyslexia fonts", which has a lot of useful insights for making resources accessible to those with dyslexia and more broadly. I also found the lightning talk "Ticket Black Holes and Incessant Beeping: How a Chat Interface Impacts Reference Anxiety" to be really relevant---we can all relate to that beeping!

Feel free to share any insights or questions from the sessions with me or our group!

Thanks,

Hi All,

The North American Virtual Reference Conference<https://www.navronline.org/> will be held on February 25th-27th with a few hours of online sessions offered per day. This conference is held every other year and registration is free. I'll be attending some of the sessions and wanted to pass it along in case it is of interest to others.

Best,
