Each "lightning style" talk will have a strict time limit of 5 minutes,

Fail Stories – Brought to you by OCULA
OCULA is bringing back last year’s popular session, “Fail Stories”!
At OLA Super Conference in February 2018 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!
