Discovery Day Camp

This free, half-day event will be held on Friday, June 10, 2011 at the University of Houston in the M.D. Anderson Library's Elizabeth D. Rockwell Pavilion from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, with light refreshments and registration beginning at 8:00 am. Discovery Day Camp will introduce the fundamentals of next-generation discovery and provide a unique opportunity for attendees to discuss the unique teaching, technology, and support aspects of discovery tools in a roundtable format.

Discovery Day Camp is intended for libraries that have a discovery platform in place or want to learn more about them. Attendees are encouraged to bring their experiences and questions to share. No prior experience with web-scale discovery tools is required.

We are also seeking volunteers to lead small-table discussions on various topics related to discovery. If you are interested or have questions about this event, please contact me directly, or email Rachel Vacek, Head of  UH Libraries' Web Services at revacek@uh.edu. No expertise is required, just a willingness to facilitate conversation.
