<p class=MsoPlainText>Quick! You have 5 minutes to tell your colleagues
about a great reference program, resource<span style='color:black'>, service,
or idea (maybe even about what you think will be the future of reference).</span><span
style='color:#0070C0'> </span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>We’re looking for ideas that inspire and engage our
students and patrons and make their lives easier and better. Maybe you'll
tell us about a new technology that will change the way we do business.
Or one that just makes it easier for users to reach professional help at the
library.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Since time is short, lightning talks are fast and fun and
require little effort beyond the expertise and experience you already
have. And, of course, by including photos or videos you can pack even
more information into your presentation. Lightning talks will give more people
a chance to participate and will allow many more ideas to be thrown into our
two-day discussion about the future of reference.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><a
href="http://www.bcr.org/referencerenaissance/index.html"><i>A Reference
Renaissance 2010: Inventing the Future</i></a> will be August 8-10, 2010 in
Denver, CO, so when you register for the conference, click the lightning talk
participation box and submit a title (or two or four). We want to hear
what’s new and cool with reference services at your library. What
do you worry about when you think about our future? What do you hope
for? Are you working on a project that you believe represents some of
what the future has to offer us? We're looking for a nice mixture of
practical, visionary, funny, dire, and inventive. Wherever you are in the
library or your career - from library director to library student - you have
something to add to this discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Your early submission will help us plan a better
conference, but you will also have a chance at the conference to sign up to do
a lightning talk.<o:p></o:p></p>
