The 2010 Super Conference, to be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from February 24 - 27, 2010, is getting closer and we have an opportunity for you to get involved! Your OCULA division has planned 33 sessions on a range of topics including marketing & promotions, collaborations & partnerships, collections management, information literacy, Spotlights on Research, and more.
We are now looking for people to convene the OCULA sessions and are hoping that you would like to get involved. As a convenor, you will be asked to:
- Contact the speaker(s) and confirm their AV requirements
- Draft a short biography of the speaker(s) and use this to introduce the speaker(s) at the session
- Meet the speaker(s) at the Speakers’ Lounge 15 minutes before the session
- Get help in the event of technical problems
- Make sure that, in the case of a panel, all panelists get equal air time
- Monitor the length of the session for the speaker(s)
- Pick up evaluation forms at the end of the session
- Write a short summary of the session for the Conference Blog and/or future OCULA publications
Convenors’ names and institutions appear in the OLA Super Conference program.
If you are willing to be a convenor, please contact Kristin Hoffmann (khoffma8@uwo.ca) regarding your interest and availability.
Please note that session convenors DO NOT receive a registration discount.
Thank you and we look forward to your support!
Thanks,
Kristin and Trish
