Eleventh Annual Innovative Users Group Conference April 25-28, 2003 San Jose, California Guidelines for Session Recorders

The Innovative Users Group will prepare online proceedings from the Eleventh Annual IUG Conference in San Jose. Volunteer recorders will attend sessions presented by IUG members and summarize the sessions in notes that are then included in the proceedings.

What You Need to Do:

• Attend the program you volunteered to cover (either one, if it's offered twice)
• Take notes
• Prepare a 1-2 page summary of the presentation in Word or WordPerfect,
• Send the summary to the program coordinator to review first, and then
• Submit the summary to Nancy Fleck (fleckn@msu.edu) by May 31, 2003
  

Before the Session:

Contact the program coordinator and introduce yourself, by email in advance or in person at the conference. Make sure you know how to contact each other. We won't be distributing printed handouts this year, so there should be nothing to collect onsite.

Formatting of Summary:

• No need for pretty graphics or trying to take IUG logos or anything like that
• Include the program number (e.g., H2) next to the program name at the top of the summary
• Include the names of coordinators, presenters, and yourselves, along with institutions, on each summary. Check out last year's proceedings for examples.
• Summarize using complete sentences, not outlines
• Try and keep length to 2 pages if possible, but we're flexible
• Send your text file in Word or WordPerfect format as an email attachment

Leah Black (blackl@mail.lib.msu.edu) is matching up volunteers with sessions to be recorded. Check her list of sessions to see which ones still need to be matched.

Sessions presented by Innovative Interfaces staff are not included in the IUG Proceedings, but program materials will be available on CS Direct following the conference.
