From reject to 1 of only 10 at ACRL Baltimore!
February 8, 2007 10:24 pm reference serviceBack in September I reported on the fate of the program proposal I sbmitted for the 2007 ACRL National Conference. In August I received notice that the proposal had not been accepted. Then a month later I received notice inviting us to present our program–this because an accepted program had to drop out for some reason. Bill Miller, Jerry Campbell, Cheryl Laguardia, Brian Mathews, and I will present our program, The Reference Question: Where has reference been? Where is reference going? 8:30-9:30 Friday morning, March 30 the Baltimore Convention Center, room 318-323, a very ample room.
This past Friday I received another e-mail from ACRL staff. This one informed me that “The Baltimore Virtual Conference subcommittee thinks your program will have wide appeal and has selected your program as one of the ten they would like to offer as a live webcast. I'm writing to you today to invite you to reoffer your face-to-face presentation, The Reference Question–Where has Reference Been? Where is Reference Going?, as an online webcast.” Not bad to go from rejection to one of only 10! We will reprise the f2f program as a webcast 1:00-2:00 Friday afternoon, March 30. We are delighted that we will be able to offer this to a wider audience–including on-site conference attendees who don't get to take in the morning presentation. It would be nice if some in Baltimore need to take in the webcast because they couldn't get into a packed room at 8:30 in the morning!
