<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We’ve been listening! A comment we’ve heard pretty often is that so many presentations at conferences seem to be by and for librarians from larger libraries. Well, Big Talk From Small Libraries
will change that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better. Each of our
<a href="http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk/speakers/">speakers</a> is from a small library or directly works with small libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Topics range from technology (new tech and old tech) to programming to partnering with your community. This eight-hour event means eight topics with nine speakers. Come for the programs on
what you’re dealing with now or maybe try something new.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Everyone is welcome to
<a href="http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk/registration/">register</a> and attend, regardless of how big or small their library is, but if your library serves a few thousand people, or a few hundred, this is the day for you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Big Talk >From Small Libraries will be broadcast online using the GoToWebinar online meeting service. GoToWebinar login instructions will be e-mailed to registered attendees the day before
the conference. Please see the <a href="http://nlc.nebraska.gov/calendar/online.aspx" target="_blank">
NLC Online Sessions webpage</a> for detailed information about GoToWebinar, including system requirements and firewall configuration. GoToWebinar works on PCs, Macs and iPads.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">This conference was organized and is hosted by Michael Sauers and Laura Johnson of the
<a href="http://nlc.nebraska.gov/">Nebraska Library Commission</a> and is co-sponsored by the
<a href="http://www.arsl.info/">Association for Rural & Small Libraries</a> and <a href="http://libraryrenewal.org/">
