TS-SIS Activities Table

Volunteer at the TS-SIS Activities Table.

The Technical Services Special Interest Section is sponsoring an activities table in the Exhibit Hall at the 2006 AALL Annual Meeting in St. Louis. It's fun to be at the table to meet your old friends and greet new colleagues who come by to see what makes TS The SPECIAL Interest Section that it is!

Program Ideas for 2007 Annual Meeting in New Orleans

It may seem *way* too early to think about AALL in 2007, but we need to plan NOW for our meeting in New Orleans!

The theme for the 2007 meeting is Rise to the Challenge! See incoming AALL President Sarah (Sally) Holterhoff's description.

As a result of having more programming flexibility at our annual AALL meetings, particularly in 2007, we can now choose more programs, panels, roundtables and discussions that are important to us! The very short time-frame for submitting 2007 program ideas after the 2006 annual meeting means we must finalize our proposals in St. Louis. Your ideas are needed now!

Final deadline for submitting your program, workshop or topic to the TS-SIS Education Committee if requesting TS-SIS sponsorship is Friday, August 4, 2006, 5:00 pm PDT.

All TS-SIS Education Committee members are available to assist you. We are open to collaborating with other SIS's or committees. And don't limit your presentation to the traditional 3 talking-head panels. See page 18 in the Handbook for alternative presentation formats.

1. Refer to the Program Planners Handbook for more information.
2. Beginning on p. 32 of the Handbook are step-by-step guidelines for using the online web site to create your proposal.
3. You do not need to complete your proposal in one session. You can save your work in progress and log back in as many times as needed to complete your proposal.
4. If you are seeking TS-SIS sponsorship, identify TS-SIS as the sponsor (or co-sponsor).
5. When you have completed your proposal, enter both the TS-SIS Education Committee e-mail address: ts-education@aallnet.org and Rhonda Lawrence's e-mail address: lawrence@law.ucla.edu. Next, when you are ready to share it with the TS-SIS Education Committee, click on the button that says "Share." Your proposal will then be automatically sent to TS-SIS Education Committee and to Rhonda Lawrence to review.

IMPORTANT: Do not click on the "Submit Proposal" button until you have heard from the TS-SIS Education Committee. If you click on the "Submit Proposal" button, the proposal goes directly to AMPC and you will no longer be able to revise it.

TS-SIS will notify everyone who has submitted a proposal to TS-SIS no later than Thursday August 10, 2006, as to whether we will sponsor your program. Individuals may also choose to submit any programs directly to AMPC without our sponsorship.
