The RUSA/RSS Catalog Use Committee is hosting a lightning round forum at its meeting at ALA Annual 2010. The meeting will be held Sunday, June 27, 4-5:30 p.m. in EMB-Capital A.
Theme: Innovations in Catalog Use
Are you doing something in your library you would like to show off? We are interested in presentations about the library catalog (broadly defined), including but not limited to user education, user experience, interface design, next generation catalog implementations, usability testing and mobile access. We are interested in successful innovations, but we are also interested in hearing about failures: what didn't work and why.
Format: We are seeking speakers to present for five minutes each, with a Q&A session after each speaker. A microphone is provided, but no other technology is available, so be prepared to "stand and deliver" without visual aids. We hope to obtain speakers on five different topics, with as little overlap as possible. If two topics are related we may run them back-to-back with a single discussion.
To submit a proposal, e-mail a short description (150 word limit) to steve-ostrem@uiowa.edu
by June 1, 2010.
