2010 Attendees Information
First of all, welcome, and THANK YOU for registering to attend the eSWUG 2010 Mini-Conference in Orange County, CA on Friday, February 19, 2010. The purpose of this informational sheet is to give you as much information about the event ahead of time to facilitate your planning.
As you may be aware, Regional User Groups (RUGs) are a Voyager tradition that is now expanding to include ALL Ex Libris product users. This is a huge and exciting experience for those of us planning the event this year. We are fervently hoping that we have developed a program that will appeal to end users of a variety of Ex Libris product users.
The eSWUG 2010 Mini-Conference can be thought of as a Mini-ELUNA for the southwest region of the U.S. Since ELUNA 2010 will be in Texas, this regional event will be MUCH closer for those of us in the southwestrn region. That said, anyone wishing to attend our event from another region is more than welcome to come. Flight and hotel information is given below for the out-of-town attendees.
Host Library: Santiago Canyon College Library
The Santiago Canyon College, located at the eastern border of Orange, California, is a two-year community college. The Library, which opened in 2006, has earned a merit award from the American Institute of Architects' Committee on Architecture for Education in 2007. The Library offers not only a wide selection of books and AV materials, but also private study rooms, a faculty development center and a student innovation zone.
Points of Interest around Orange
City of Orange is unique among the region and the state in that it has the second largest concentration of historic buildings. Many homes were built prior to 1920 in its Old Town District. It is a delight to walk around the downtown and shop the antique stores.
Another attraction is the Irvine Regional Park. Located in the scenic foothills of East Orange County, the Irvine Regional Park is California's oldest park (donated by James Irvine in 1897). It has a rustic, early Californian atmosphere and offers such unique features as the Orange County Zoo and Irvine Park Railroad. It is also an ideal setting for observing wildlife, visible along the nature trail and on the surrounding hillsides.
Specific Information:
Registration for this event will include a light breakfast and a luncheon on the day of the Mini-Conference.
