+==== Authority Control in Evergreen: The Straight Dope (Back by request! Previously presented at 2014 Conference) ====
+**Description:** Authorities are dope, yo. Used properly, they simplify cataloging and increase patron access to materials through improved discovery capabilities. During this session we will discuss exactly how authority control works in Evergreen and how best to make use of the advanced capabilities that Evergreen provides. We will cover browse integration, automatic record overlay, authority generation, bibliographic and inter-authority record linking, Control Sets and their configuration, and how to make use of local, extra-LoC data and expertise to leverage the full potential of Evergreen’s authority control feature set.  We will also discuss possible “wish list” features to gauge the priorities of the community for future development.

+====Oh! The Places Acquisitions Can Go!====
+**Description:**
+>>>You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the guy who’ll decide where to go.  You’ll get mixed up of course, as you already know.  You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.  So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that life’s a great balancing act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
+>>>__Oh the Places You’ll Go__, Dr. Seuss.
+Acquisitions users have long development wish lists.  In this session, we  will facilitate a discussion of Acquisitions users’ top ten development wishes and produce  a collaborative, prioritized development list of five.  We will also begin requirements and use case gathering  toprepare a requirements document for the community to share and use while seeking development funding and to propel Acquisitions forward in a way that will benefit the entire community.

+==== Evergreen Search Tune-up:  Tips and tricks to taking the default search indexes and making them more awesome ====
+Evergreen offers sites a lot of flexibility in adjusting the default indexes that are used for search. In this session, MassLNC Project Coordinator Kathy Lussier will offer a peak into the database to demonstrate how the default search indexes are configured, show where to go when determinig why a particular search didn't work as expected, and discuss the factors that make some records more relevant than others on the results page. She'll also demonstrate how to configure new indexes, either to accommodate a field not covered by the default index or to make specific MARC fields more relevant than others.
