Call for Panelists

Good morning.
The “Connect & Communicate Series” of free virtual events for academic librarians is seeking panelists to discuss “Discovery and the Future of the Catalog” in a one-hour virtual panel discussion (using the AnyMeeting presentation platform) to be held the week of November 10th.

Topics to be covered include: what a discovery service will and will not do; how it can be used with the catalog, integrated into the catalog, or as a replacement for the catalog; issues with implementation; effects on staffing; and patron response and usage.

The panel discussion will consist of a moderator posing questions to a group of panelists. Attendees will be given the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists in the final portion of the discussion.

Serving as a panelist will look great on your résumé or CV!

Please submit a brief statement of your interest in participating as a panelist, including information about your experience with your institution’s discovery service, by Tuesday, September 30th via our form at http://goo.gl/WEf9Yo
