> Subject: Call for Presenters
>
>
> The San Diego Chapter of the Special Libraries Association is seeking
> presenters for our annual full-day professional education seminar on
> October 6, 2006 in San Diego, CA.
>
> The theme is "Beyond the Buzz: Hot New Technologies and How We Can Use
> Them."
>
> Every week, there seems to be some new technology that's all the buzz,
> and you'll fall behind if you don't drop everything and start using  
> it.
> But deciding where to invest your time and money means selecting the
> right "next big things" that will have immediate (or at least
> foreseeable) applications to your work.
>
> This is an opportunity to share with other information professionals
> how you are using these new technologies to manage information; to
> collaborate and communicate with colleagues; and to better serve your
> clients, customers and patrons. Which of these emerging tools are  
> truly
> useful, and not just hot?
>
> We are seeking presenters to cut through the tech buzz by discussing
> and/or demonstrating the technologies they are using. Topics may
> include, but are not limited to:
>
>   * Web 2.0 applications, such as RSS, blogs, wikis,
> bookmarking/tagging/folksonomies, and podcasting
>   *  Firefox
>   * Google and other search engines
>   * Instant Messaging
>   * Skype and other VOIP tools
>   * Personal response software
>   * Content management systems
>   * Federated searching
>
> Please submit your presentation proposal (15-30 minutes) to Susan
> Shepherd  at sushepherd at library.ucsd.edu by August 15th. Proposals
> should include a description of the tool/technology to be  
> presented, how
> you're using it in your library as an information professional, and  
> the
> amount of time you expect to need for the presentation. We encourage
> submissions from librarians working in all types of libraries, and SLA
> membership is not required.
>
> We hope you will send us your presentation proposal today, and please
> reserve October 6th on your calendar now.  We will be sending a formal
> announcement of our Fall Seminar in early September with all the
> details.
>
> Sincerely,
> Penny Coppernoll-Blach &
> Susan Shepherd

> Directors, SLA San Diego Chapter
