Planning for National Library Camp 2011

Page history last edited by sirexkat@... 13 years, 2 months ago

The page for Perth Library Camp 2010 is here http://librarycampperth.com/index.php?title=Main_Page , but I did not have privileges to create a new page, so I have put this planning stuff here until someone can move it elsewhere:

 

HERE IS WHAT IS KNOWN

  • National Library Camp will be on Monday 19 September.
  • The URL of the site will be htp://librarycampaustralia.com to be registered by Matthias
  • Venue = SLoWA
  • Time = 9am - 4pm
  • Max capacity = 207 people



IDEAS A BIT DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE

  • STATE OF THE NATION - Have a session where people from each state give a “state of the nation” summary that they gather before the unconf - their point of view of hot or pressing issues in their State
  • PICNIC BASKETS - Lunch to be picnic baskets, each one sponsored by a different library supplies vendor in return for literature in the basket.  We get a caterer to make them, not us. We  suggest they might want to send someone along to take part in the unconf - but if they want to do a session it will be on the understanding that people will vote for it - or not.
  •  Groups take picnic rug and then can then eat in the foyer, Great Southern Room or next to the vege gardens near the art gallery.
  • We would need vego and gluten-free baskets
  • BACK TO PIZZA FOR LUNCH - EASIER
  • AUTOMATING REGO: Some kind of online registration where instead of editing a wiki, people put their names into a profile and a “wizard” shows the topics already suggested and asks them to nominate what they could present on or would like to hear. Drupal or Buddypress probably has modules that can do this and Nick knows someone whose arm may be twisted to get this working. Fields needed for rego:
      • Name
      • Organisation
      • Email
      • Interested in hearing about
      • Interested in presenting
      • Any special gear for your session
      • Jobs you can do on the day
      • Dietary preference
      • Free text - info organisers need to know - eg. mobility,
  • If State Library is used, then State Library staff are welcome to attend, but rather than taking up a registration spot, they should just turn up to sessions

 

LIBRARY CAMP HATS


SPONSORSHIP - Hoi, Jo Beazley

Sponsorship for specific purposes, not a fixed amount. Eg. ECU pays for morning tea

The involves:

  • calculating costs of each thing
  • contacting a sponsor to pay for it

  • making sure sponsor is mentioned in all publicity
  • buying or arranging the thing

Things needing sponsorship

  • Afternoon tea
  • Single picnic baskets
  • Possibly VIVID for reliable wifi setup
  • Maybe stationery - butcher’s paper, name tags, whiteboard markers
  • Consider asking interstate libraries to sponsor the unconf by flying in interesting people who can tell us what they are doing


After the unconf:

  • Contact sponsors and accept money
  • Give money to food people
  • Save accounts
  • Work out who spent what and re-imburse if necessary
