[Gary Simons]

Heidi,

I'll be at LSA and will be happy to be there during the whole 3 hour time
block in order to answer technical questions.

Dear all,


We have signed up for office hours for our group, on Saturday from 2:00 -
5:00.


That will parallel our tutorial, which is Friday 2-5. I forget which room
we'll be in,


but we'll be listed in the catalog as OLAC Office Hours.


We should work out a schedule for who will be there when, that we can
announce


and pass out on a little flyer at the tutorial. Remember, the main purpose
of the


office hours was to give people a chance to ask more detailed questions of
the


tutorial speakers, so I hope most of y'all speakers can plan on being there
Sat.


for at least 1/2 hour or so. We also had talked about having an OLAC
technical


expert there for some part of the time to talk to people about registering
their


archive/materials with OLAC. Another thought was to have a period of time


devoted to IPR counselling, as I think of it - time for people to discuss
their concerns


about archiving and access of sensitive materials.


We may not have wireless access in the office hours room. There is access
in


all the public spaces, so my guess is that it will likely leak into the
office hours


rooms. If it doesn't, and someone needs counselling that requires internet
access,


probably we can just slip out into the nearest public access space to show
them


whatever it is. But it would be wise to be prepared to talk about, e.g.
OLAC registration,


without internet access.


I will be there for the whole time, so you can leave flyers or equipment or
whatever.


But I can't answer all the questions! It is highly likely that we will get
a steady trickle


of people who want one-on-one help with something, so please try to reserve
a little


chunk of time on Sat. afternoon to come by the room. (I have the room name
at work -


I'll post it as soon as I get a chance. Gonna be a busy day not in my
office....)


See y'all soon,


Heidi
