** Submit a Program Proposal for the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference!
------------------------------------------------------------
The deadline for submitting a program proposal for the Upper Midwest Digital Collections conference is May 24!!
The first Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference will be held on August 18-19 at the University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis campus, Minneapolis, MN.
This two-day conference, jointly organized by Minitex and WiLS, and sponsored by OCLC, will be held in conjunction with a Northern CONTENTdm user group meeting on August 18 followed by a more general "all things digital" day on August 19.
We hope that the conference will attract a wide-range of people involved in creating and curating digital collections -- digital project managers, historians, archivists, librarians, technologists, and more. We would like to provide a program for all levels, beginning to advanced.
You can help! Consider sharing your expertise by submitting a program proposal (http://wils.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=966c16b5ac135d9505d07cc7c&id=2716c05aec&e=1d1f59b35e) for the conference.
