Re: Call for program proposals/ideas - NWIUG

[Janet Chisman <chisman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Carolyn,
I always like a class on what's new on create lists.  

Since Cascade, the union catalog of the six public higher ed institutions,
just came up you might want to consider a presentation on that.  I think I
could round up a presenter or two if this sounds interesting.  We have been
asked to do a presentation at WLA next spring.  I think a presentation
focusing on the InnReach features might be of interest.  We are hoping that
this union catalog will expand to include private colleges and universities
and community colleges.  

Although the presentation on web usability testing was not too well-attended
a few years ago, it might be of more interest now.  We finally got our new
search page up which incorporated changes based on problems users
encountered.  Nicole Campbell and Karen Diller have been very active in
usability testing of all kinds.  I think there was a lot of interest in
Karen's brief presentation last year at the plenary session.  I would have
to check with them on their schedules, but we might be able to do a
presentation on different assessment techniques for webpac.

If these sound of interest, let me know and I will see if I can pull them
together.

Good luck on this.  And thank you and the committee for all your hard work.
