[ILL-L] Call for Presentations - 2008 International OCLC ILLiad Conference

[John Brunswick]

This announcement is being sent to multiple lists, please excuse any
duplicates.

A reminder...

Is your library doing something different and innovative with OCLC
ILLiad?  Do you have a particular area of expertise that you would like
to share with your colleagues?  Is there something you've been wanting
to discuss concerning resource sharing, but just can't find the right
forum? 

The fourth International OCLC ILLiad Conference will be held on March
13-14, 2008 at the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront in Virginia Beach,
VA, and we are currently accepting proposals for presentations. Possible
topics include (but certainly are not limited to):

*	Implementation of ILLiad, including customizations
*	Integration of courier services and consortial borrowing with
ILLiad
*	Integration of remote storage, sites, or collections with ILLiad
*	Implementation of Odyssey
*	ILLiad from the perspective of the very large or the very small
library
*	ILLiad from the perspective of the medical, law, or special
library
*	Implementation of ILLiad with multiple pickup sites, such as a
public library with numerous branches
*	Upgrading and migrating your ILLiad server
*	Implementing and managing a shared server
*	Authentication of patrons and/or importing patron data from
another database
*	Reporting and statistics
*	Billing and the Billing Manager
*	Any other topic that you think would be of interest to your
colleagues	

We are also interested in presentations of more general interest to the
resource sharing community, such as a talk on standards or the future of
resource sharing.  Panel discussions are welcome.

Presentations should be approximately 45 minutes in length, with 15
minutes for questions.

If you are interested please send your name, institution, and contact
information, along with a brief description of your talk, to John
Brunswick at jbrunswick at atlas-sys.com.  All proposals need to be
submitted no later than November 9, 2007.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.
