Not familiar with OnCon. Click here for their “About” page, but here is a small excerpt from that page:
Unlike other virtual conferences and webinars where participants passively observe speakers, we wanted to create a model that was interactive and engaging. The small group hangout sessions led by moderators from various parts of the library field, encourage open communication, networking, and inspiration.Anyone with a computer and Internet access can participate, but don’t wait until Thursday to get on this. Spend some time today over on the website and plan how you will participate and attend so that you are not caught up in any technical snags.
Below, I am reposting a shortened version of the Conference Day page which has all of the details and times for Thursday’s presentations. Please note, you need to go to the Library OnCon page to access the content. I am only posting this for information purposes to show you what is scheduled.
Also, some of the presentations come with the option for smaller group discussions. Take advantage of these.
Finally, if you still have questions about the conference, why it exists, and how it works, you should listen to Episode 70 of the Circulating Ideas podcast in which one of this year’s presenters interviews the founders of this conference.
