Good afternoon, Everyone!
I am pleased to announce that online registration for the 16th Annual
Innovative Users Group Conference to be held April 2008 in Washington,
D.C. is now available at:
http://www.innovativeusers.org/iug2008/registration.html. Early bird
registration will take place from Jan. 23 through Feb. 29th. Early bird
registrants will be entered into a raffle for seven free 2008 conference
registrations [2 for U.S. members and 5 for international members].
You will need your IUG member number and III site code in order to
register. Please see the registration page for details on how to obtain
these numbers. Non-IUG members should register directly with Kathy
O'Gorman, IUG Financial Consultant kathy at innovativeusers dot org dot If you
need your password, please email me (fleckn at msu dot edu) or use this
form:
http://www.innovativeusers.org/forms/webmaster.html
The conference dates are as follows:
IUG Pre-Conference & Innovative Workshops: Sunday, April 27, 2008
IUG Main Conference: Monday April 28-Wednesday April 30, 2008
The IUG Pre-Conference is a virtual boot camp for using the Innovative
System, intended for staff from new libraries, staff who have assumed or
taken new responsibilities with systems management, or staff who need a
refresher on how it all works. The sessions are smaller and are geared
to getting your library up and running. Like the main conference, the
pre-conference has sessions provided by both Innovative and IUG members.
The morning III workshop will be "Library Staff Transitions: Managing Your
Library's Innovative System through Staff Changes", and the afternoon
session will be "WebPAC Design and Best Practices." Each Innovative workshop
is limited to 250 participants, so be sure to register in advance. For more
information on the Innovative Workshops, please visit:
http://www.innovativeusers.org/iug2008/preconference.html
The main conference will take place from Monday April 27th through
Wednesday April 30th. Ppreliminary program information will
be coming next week, with the tentative schedule coming shortly thereafter.
At that time John Culshaw, IUG Program Chair and IUG Vice Chair/Chair Elect,
will invite you to participate in the second program interest survey. Please
let us know the programs you tentatively plan to attend so that we may
assign the programs to appropriately sized rooms.
One Day Registration
Once again we will have a one-day registration for the IUG Conference. Only
the last day, Wednesday, April 30th, will be possible for the one day
registration. This day normally has repeats of the most popular programs, so
it makes the most sense for a one-day program. We are hoping to create a
new way to allow people who might not otherwise be allowed to go to the
meeting because of the cost or time commitment.

promises to be another great conference!
