Call for "Speed UpDating Open Forum" Topics

The 2009 National Program Committee (NPC) hopes to bring attendees at MLA '09 in Hawaii a fresh and timely update on what's hot and/or cool in our libraries. A special session, the "Speed UpDating Open Forum," will be held to get quick flashes of new ideas or useful tips and tricks on emerging topics of interest to MLA members.
Join your colleagues at the "Speed UpDating Open Forum" on Tuesday, May 18, at 7:30 a.m. Participants will have 5 minutes to share a late-breaking idea or cool tip. In the spirit of having meeting participants set the agenda, there will be no editorial evaluation in the selection process; instead, the NPC will select the first 12 submissions received. So start thinking about what you would like to have just 5 minutes to tell your colleagues about. Participants should be willing to tell their stories without visuals. The only technology in the room will be a stopwatch to keep everyone on time!
To ensure that these ideas are fresh, the NPC will have an open submission period beginning January 25, 2009. Send your topic or idea submissions to the NPC. The NPC will accept ideas until the first 12 have been received. Reminders will be sent via FOCUS. The participants will be named in the April MLA News.
