NDSA folks, Anyone planning on attending ALA Midwinter? Anyone considering doing a presentation? Anyone interested in working together to submit an NDSA-themed presentation? If you're planning on attending and already have an idea, feel free to harvest from the NDSA Partner Outreach Toolkit (http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Outreach_Toolkit) to include a few words about the NDSA in your presentation. If you're looking to make a proposal, perhaps you could consider partnering with other NDSA members who will be attending to talk about some of our great projects, including: Levels of Preservation (http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Levels_of_preservation) Digital Preservation Staffing Survey (http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Staffing_survey_planning_page) Content Team updates (http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Content_teams) Just a few ideas to get you started!
