There are a pretty limited number of sessions at the conference and the committee has to balance the different library sectors. Perhaps they do think that it is a been there done that situation. Good idea to think about the open textbook summit. Perhaps we could talk about that at our next meeting. We do have The Future is Open rescheduled coming up, so we should be able to catch quite a few library people there.

I wonder if you might request some feedback from the committee. Do they feel like this is a "been there done that" presentation? Is there a national conference you would consider submitting a proposal at? Also thinking ahead to the Open Textbook Summit in May- wondering if perhaps you might consider a workshop of some sort that would benefit the OT community? Thanks!
