Session Coverage

From Saa2007

Jump to: navigation, search

This page is to coordinate coverage of blogging and recaps of SAA 2007 panels and round tables. The hope is to have every session covered by at least one person, but don't let the knowledge that someone else is covering a session stop you from adding your name too. The more editors the merrier (and often the more informative, just look at Wikipedia).

Add your name and a link to your wiki profile after the title of any session if you intend to either blog or post a recap of the session in the wiki.

The two best options for providing notes and comments about a session are:

  • Post to your blog, and then provide a link to your blog entry at the page in this wiki that is devoted to that particular session
  • Add your text directly to the wiki page for that session.

For example, if you had comments about the Opening Plenary, the link and/or text would go in the Opening Plenary page.

We will add more instructions about how to do this when we get closer to the conference.

Confused? Afraid you will break something? Then email Jeanne at spellboundblog.com and let her know which session you plan to cover and what your wiki ID is - and she will add your name in the list below.

[edit] People Planning to Blog/Recap Sessions

This is meant to be a list of those who plan to blog or write recaps of sessions and roundtables at SAA2007. If you cannot commit to covering specific sessions below, please add your name/id/blog here so we can get a handle on how many people we have to cover as many of the sessions as possible.

Jeanne Kramer-Smyth blogging at Spellbound Blog - I will put my name down below for all the sessions I will be blogging. Many of the session summaries will not be posted until after the conference.

Brad Houston blogging at Not a Guybrarian. I will also cross-reference recaps to this wiki.

Sheila Ryan - I'm hoping both to write recaps (recollected in tranquility) of up to four of Thursday's sessions and post them here on the wiki for archival colleagues and to interpret SAA 2007 for followers of clusterflock, a "group blog devoted to all aspects of culture".

Andy Carter - I plan to write a couple of recaps for this wiki. I am not settled on which sessions to cover.

Rob Jenson blogging at | The Lone Arranger. My laptop is not portable so there may be a slight delay on Thursday's sessions.
