the future of libraries in the digital age
This is the discussion and email group for conference volunteers. Please join this group if you sign up to volunteer, as we will use it to send important announcements out to all volunteers.
A HUGE and special thanks to you volunteers for the conference! Here are some final notes that you will want to keep handy during the conference:

If you like sports, here's our current "score" of presenters vs. assistants: 151 to 101. We need 50 more time slots filled by volunteers in order to have someone to help each presenter. Thanks to all who have filled over 100 spots!
Here's an updated chart that shows a green rectangle for each volunteer assistant and a blue rectangle for each presenter (times shown are Pacific Daylight Time GMT -7). Ideally, each line (except keynotes) would have an equal number of blue and green rectangles

Thanks to you, we're making good progress but we still need more green!
We have particular need for volunteers in the following time slots:
Wednesday
8 and 9 am Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -7)
5 pm Pacific
Thursday
3, 4, 5 am Pacific/ 8, 9, and 10pm Australia,Sydney (GMT +10)
1 pm Pacific
7 pm Pacific
Sign up for any times when you can assist.
Reminders:
1) Get trained.
Listen to a recording on the schedule page.
2) Practice.
Login to our practice room as a moderator at any time and read the instructions, practice uploading slides, changing permissions, etc.
3) Stop by the volunteer lounge anytime to say hello or see what is currently needed. Our busiest time will be around 20 minutes before each hour that sessions are held.
Thanks to all-
Debbie Faires
