If you are attending this session, please let us know what you would like us to cover. We really want this session to be interactive with lots of give and take but we want to be sure to cover what you, the attendees, are hoping to see. __ Do you want this session to be a general session showing you how the new interface looks and discussing some of the things we did to customize our OPAC? __ Do you want this session to a more "nuts and bolts" type of session, i.e., this is how we did ________ (please fill in the blank). If this is the kind of session you are looking for, please tell us specifically what you want to know. Please put an X next to the topics you would be interested in discussing: __ Are you using the Classic or Tomcat version of the OPAC? __ What are your thoughts on the Pros and Cons of either staying with the Classic version or switching to the Tomcat version? - And, why did you decide to either stay with Classic or to switch to Tomcat? __ What works or doesn't work so well if you switched to Tomcat? __ What changes/customizations have you made to the "out-of-the-box" version of Tomcat?

Or are we really suggesting that they should come prepared to discuss them. Maybe we could say something like "Come prepared to discuss:" or maybe "Possible points of discussion:" or even just "Points to discuss" or maybe have it be a little survey-ish like - Would you like to discuss (check those that apply): ¾ Are you using the Classic or Tomcat version of the OPAC? ¾ What are your thoughts on the Pros and Cons of either staying with the Classic version or switching to the Tomcat version?

I like the idea of putting the info about the session in the subject line. Maybe you could move the line that says "We really want this session to be interactive with lots of give and take but we want to be sure to cover what you, the attendees, are hoping to see." To above where you ask the first 2 questions. And this is a minor thing, but I don't think Tomcat has the capital C (it's just the name of the platform that WebVoyage is built on). Thanks!
