[Libs-Or] Invitation to WorldCat Discovery Day, July 30, 2010

[John Helmer]

Washington and Oregon colleagues,

I'd like to invite you to attend WorldCat Discovery Day, a special event 
organized by the Orbis Cascade Alliance for July 30, 2010 at the 
Sylvania Campus of Portland Community College in Portland, Oregon.

Designed for staff of Orbis Cascade Alliance member libraries, this 
symposium aims to further understanding of the WorldCat discovery 
platform. Discovery Day sessions will focus on the user interface and 
its impacts on reference and instruction and the event will include a 
keynote address by Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President and Chief Strategist, 
Office of Research, OCLC.

IMPORTANT: We are recording expressions of interest from colleagues at 
non-member libraries now and will process those requests as space 
allows, beginning on June 15.  That means you can let us know you are 
interested now but we won't know about availability until mid-June. 
Registration will be $55.

The program can be viewed at:

*If you would like to have us contact you with registration information 
in mid-June, please fill out this brief survey:*

Best wishes.
