Meeting Notes: Workshop Consideration
SIG Meeting at ABA, 2002, Toronto, Canada
Dear B-FIT SIG members:
Below please find our meeting notes regarding a workshop at ABA 2003. I have
not yet received suggestions either for workshops or symposia, so I
reiterate the invitation to you to e-mail me with your ideas. In the absence
of direction from the membership, I'll plot a course as best I can to
maintain momentum so that when folks return from vacations, sabbaticals, and
project activities we have an outline upon which to build.
I've run through the ABA 2002 convention program and listed, in order of
their occurrence, all the workshop prices. I do not know how much latitude
is permitted by ABA in scheduling workshop duration or days/times, but I
offer this summary of what was done this year as a starting place. I counted
40 workshops: 14 were all-day (7 hour) affairs (10 a.m.-5 p.m.) on Friday,
May 24, 14 were 3-hour evening presentations on Friday, and 12 were 3-hour
morning events (8-11) on Saturday.
If we are to consider a workshop, we need to decide how long it will run,
what topic(s) to include, and who presents it. Toward those ends, I invite
you to e-mail me with...
(a) topics you would like to see or think others would be interested in. Be
as detailed as you can be, or as vague as you need to be. This is just to
generate alternatives to enrich our discussion.
(b) topics you would be willing and able to present, again, with as much
detail as you can muster including learning objectives, abstract, target
audience, duration if possible. Alternatively, drop me a loose title idea so
I know you're thinking about it.
(c) proposed audiences, pricing, or other issues that you think might guide
the process.
Ralph--would you please forward some advertising information? Perhaps call
one sample paper and get prices, required lead time, etc. so we have some
concrete example to consider. If you can brainstorm a list of possible
papers/periodicals and list them, perhaps others in the group would have
insights into which would serve us best?
I'll send a follow-up note addressing symposia in the days to come. I hope
everyone is having a wonderful summer. If you can find time to put a few
minutes into helping the SIG organize, rest assured your efforts will be
greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Michael Kirkpatrick
