*****Fail Stories – Brought to you by OCULA:*****

“It is fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.” - Bill Gates

At OLA Super Conference in February 2017 we want to hear about grand failures in academic libraries...in 7  minutes or less! Tell us about the beautiful failure: Was there an event that no one attended? Did a liaison relationship go nowhere? Did an online tutorial crash and burn? Join us in a supportive and constructive environment as speakers share their great ideas gone wrong in a lightning talk format. You never know – you might be inspired!

Use this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/18HYIwCeJgCQrwvQWv9Nlrzya-jg1gA8d-003gC6E57c/edit?ts=57a4a69d, to submit your proposal by November 21, and you will be notified of acceptance by November 28.
