Reminder! This is your last week to submit proposals for talks at Code4Lib
2014 in Raleigh this year. Proposals are due this Friday, November 8 at 5pm
PST.
We should have room for at least 20 talks and only have a handful of
proposals so far, so don't miss out on a great opportunity. Please help us
make a great conference by submitting your own work or recruiting
submissions from others who are doing interesting stuff. If you need more
info about the conference itself, start here:
http://code4lib.org/conference/2014
See below for details on how to submit a proposal.
Please note that we are also accepting proposals for pre-conference now,
although those have a later deadline for submission (December 6).
