Vote for Jessamyn West’s SXSW 2010 Conference Library Presentation Proposals
Jessamyn West of the librarian.net blog has two library related presentation proposals for the SXSW 2010 Conference in Austin, Texas:
“I have proposed two presentations for the SXSW conference in Austin Texas next March. There is a complicated series of steps to determining which of the proposals will actually get picked. Part of this determination (30%) is a very basic voting thing where you can thumbs-up or thumbs-down a particular presentation. Voting is now open. We are encouraged to use our powers of persuasion to get you to vote for our ideas. I would like you to vote for my ideas. Here is a link to all of the proposals. There are over 2000 of them and 300 or so will get chosen.”

“Voting involved signing up on the website and then clicking the thumbs up. I’d appreciate it if you’d consider doing this. I’m pretty into both topics but the first one is nearer and dearer to my heart, while the second one seems to fit in more nicely with the SXSW gestalt. A few other library-themed things you shoudl check out”
She listed other library-related proposals you might want to consider voting on:
Here’s a chance to get library-related themes into other web and social media conferences.
