User Group Meeting at ALA 2009, Chicago

Sunday, July 12, 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. 

Lake Michigan Room, Chicago Hilton

The agenda includes:

• An update from the QuestionPoint Product Team
• A brief presentation by Virginia Cole on the "text-a-librarian" pilot at Cornell University
• Small group discussions focusing on "Top Five Things" (e.g., "Top Five Things You Need to See on Policy Pages")

There should also be ample time for questions.
 

Virtual User Group Meetings

We know that relatively few of you are able to attend our service-wide user group meetings, which have usually been held at major library conferences in the United States. We would very much like to be able to update all of you in person and give everyone an opportunity to participate in discussions centering on the QuestionPoint community, the software, plans for future development, and your virtual reference service issues and challenges.

Having said that, we're going to do the next best thing: reinstate our quarterly virtual user group meetings. To that end, we have scheduled three sessions in mid-April. By having three sessions, we hope we can accommodate users in Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, as well as Central and North America. These sessions will be held using WebEx online and audio conferencing software. When you register for a session, you will automatically receive an e-mail with log-in and call-in information.

Here are the registration links for the three sessions:

Tuesday, April 14 (Wed. a.m., April 15 in Australia). Good for western U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Asia/Pacific.

11:00 p.m. GMT
