I'm forwarding a message just sent from Paige Andrew (with his permission) regarding last month's CUAC conference. The presentations and associated discussions were wonderful and many of the powerpoint portions of the presentations are posted to the CUAC web site. If you have a few minutes, take some time to look through the site.

I believe someone mentioned to me also that the sessions were recorded and those recordings will be transcribed and eventually posted to the web site. There was such a wealth of information presented at the conference and it will be great to be able to go back and refresh one's memory regarding the topics and details of each session.

Special thanks to all of you who are providing this follow up information.  You are doing the profession a great service!!!

Subject: PowerPoint presentations and similar information now on CUAC
website

Good morning everyone!

I hope this message finds everyone well and back to "normal" routines, as I
am. Once again, thank you so much for your attendance at our conference and
at the IFLA workshop on May 11th, by many measures they both were a success!

Yesterday I found out that all of the PowerPoint presentations from the May
12-13 CUAC conference are now up on the CUAC website and available for
viewing. In addition, the Abstracts for each presenter/presentation that
were in your packets are now online, as well as a list of CUAC Committee
members. Just go to http://cuac.wustl.edu/cuac.htm and look at the
upper-right side of the page where the rest of the conference information
has always been. You'll see links labelled "Powerpoint Presentations,"
"Abstracts for presentations," and "Conference Committee Members." Please
note that two of our presenters did not use a PowerPoint slideshow, we are
gathering there textual presentations from them in order to share out as
soon as possible.

The downside to viewing the PP's is that one does not have what was
described/said during the presentation to go with them. Of course, the
upside is that there is good information to be gleaned from these slides.
CUAC members are currently working on getting the tape recordings of each
presentation transcribed, and when that is completed they will also be
mounted at this same location so that you can put the words with the pictures.

So, I hope this is helpful information for many of you, and we are
continuing to finish this process as best we can on our side.

Sincerely,

Paige Andrew
