EncycloMedia is our annual library conference in Oklahoma sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Education. This fall, Encyclomedia will be held in Oklahoma City on September 18-19, 2008. I’m not sure how many of these will be accepted for the conference, but these were the proposal suggestions I submitted this year. Some of these are remixes of previous presentations I’ve shared, others are new.
