Maybe some of the DC people could go to this. I don't think you have to be on a current NSF project to register and its quite interesting. It would be good to scout for NSDL projects that could be sugarized. <div class="gmail_quote"> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Susan Jesuroga <<a href="mailto:jesuroga@ucar.edu">jesuroga@ucar.edu</a>> Date: Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 4:39 PM Subject: [Nsdl-all] Mark Your Calendars for the 2009 NSDL Annual Meeting To: <a href="mailto:nsdl-all@nsdl.org">nsdl-all@nsdl.org</a> <div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"> <div> The 2009 NSDL Annual Meeting will be held on November 17-19 at the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/wasmc-washington-marriott-at-metro-center/" target="_blank">Marriott at Metro Center</a> in Washington DC. We’re working to get some basic information on the web site, but here are a few tidbits about what’s to come. The overall structure of the meeting will be the same as last year, starting with the poster reception on the first evening, and ending the meeting by noon on the 19th. Registration will open in early September. The planning committee is working on a theme for the meeting, and has come up with 6 major areas of interest: Evaluation & Impact, Outreach & Professional Development, Research Findings, Sustainability, Services & Technology and Collection Development. We will be asking presenters to submit their presentations with these categories in mind, to help us better slot your talks with similar topics. We will also be putting on some pre-meeting sessions via ReadyTalk, including an orientation for new staff and projects, and other presentations that will help us all hit the ground running at the meeting. There is a meeting blog at <a href="http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/community/" target="_blank">http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/community/</a> where updates and information will be posted, along with emails to the usual community lists. So, stay tuned, make your travel plans and hotel reservations and plan to reconnect with your colleagues and friends in November. *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Susan Jesuroga <a href="mailto:jesuroga@ucar.edu" target="_blank">jesuroga@ucar.edu</a> Meeting Chair 303-497-2942 National Science Digital Library <a href="http://nsdl.org" target="_blank">nsdl.org</a> </div> </div> _______________________________________________ Nsdl-all mailing list <a href="mailto:Nsdl-all@nsdl.org">Nsdl-all@nsdl.org</a> <a href="http://comm.nsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/nsdl-all" target="_blank">http://comm.nsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/nsdl-all</a> </div> -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove Caroline@SolutionGrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
