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 class="" style=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423503119759_3102"><o:p class="" style=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423503119759_3104">Proposals may be submitted via a web form located at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ORVRS2015" class="" style="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423503119759_3103">http://tinyurl.com/ORVRS2015</a>.
