<p class="MsoNormal">The Oregon Virtual Reference Summit Planning Committee invites you to submit proposals for programs at the 2015 Oregon Virtual Reference Summit which will take place as a preconference on April 15, 2015 at the
<a href="http://www.olaweb.org/ola-conference-2015">OLA conference in Eugene, Oregon</a>.<br>
<br>
The Summit is Oregon’s annual conference dedicated to reference, service, and technology. It is a one day conference that strives for a fun, friendly, inclusive environment with reference focused content appropriate for all skill levels, library types, and
experiences. It is also an excellent opportunity to meet virtual reference staff from around the state face to face and exchange ideas. Presenters and attendees do not need to staff Answerland; all are welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proposals may be submitted via a web form located at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ORVRS2015">
http://tinyurl.com/ORVRS2015</a>. Examples of past programs can be found on <a href="http://nwcentral.org/">
Northwest Central</a> by searching for 'Oregon Virtual Reference Summit'. Programs need to be 60 minutes in length. Presentation formats that include a participatory element are encouraged.<br>
<br>
Proposals will be accepted until February 22, 2015. Notification of acceptance will be made by March 1, 2015. Presenters can have their registration for the Summit preconference reimbursed and can receive travel reimbursement up to $200 for individuals traveling
more than 55 miles to the conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
