Hi all,
The Evergreen 2014 Conference Program Committee is now accepting
proposals to present at the conference!
The theme of this year's conference is "Together We Grow." The
conference will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts from March 19-22, 2014.
There are three programming tracks, and we hope to have a broad spectrum
of programming within these tracks.
* End user: best practices and techniques for using Evergreen in
day-to-day library operations.
* General: programs on administration, training, making the decision to
move to Evergreen, participating in the Evergreen community, and other
topics related to using Evergreen and open source software in consortial
and standalone environments.
* Technical: Topics related to system administration, software
development, implementation, hardware, and integration with other software.
We are also seeking proposals for longer, two-to-three-hour tutorials to
provide in-depth instruction in an area of interest. We would like this
year's conference to include one tutorial on a technical topic and
another one targeted for end users.
This year, the Program Committee is trying something new for the
selection process. All submitted proposals will be posted for the
community to review. After the submission deadline, we will then give
prospective attendees the opportunity to let us know which sessions they
would be likely to attend. This community feedback will be one factor in
the Program Committee's selection process. The committee will also weigh
other criteria in the selection process, including accommodating the
needs of the various audiences attending the conference.
The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2013.
Full guidelines and instructions are available on the Evergreen web site
at http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg14/proposals/.

We look forward to the submissions!
