Hello everyone! Getting excited about the upcoming VRA+ARLIS/NA Joint
Conference? Only a few short weeks away so be sure to a) register and b)
book a room at the conference hotel.
I've been fielding some questions behind the scenes about our conference
program SCHED http://vraarlis11.sched.org/ and thought perhaps some of you
had the same questions but were too shy to ask. By the way
it is GOOD for you to ask because SCHED* does make occasional changes to
their user interface (UI) and it keeps me on my toes as well.
Here are a couple of recent ones:
*How do I print out my own personal conference SCHED*?*
*Sign in* (by now we hope you all have created your user profile!)
Click on *My Profile*. You should now have a view that displays only the
events you've selected, they display as black rather than in all the pretty
colors.
Click the *Print* icon in the right-hand sidebar
This will open a Print view with *Print this Page* up in the top menu bar.
*I've imported my SCHED* into Google Calendar, but I am on Pacific Time and
I know the conference is on Central Time! Help!! How do I change the
timezone for my conference calendar?*
*
*
Unfortunately this is not something I can easily troubleshoot for everyone.
S*ome calendar applications, including SCHED*, don't export their calendars
with time zone information. If your own Google Calendar is in a different
time zone than the calendar you're importing from SCHED*, this will likely
result in your events showing up in your current time zone; events that
begin at 8am CST display as beginning at 6am PST {{{yawn! Note to self: get
COFFEE!}}}. Timezone settings only for the imported SCHED* calendar
(vraarlis11 (username) are not editable in Google Calendar. [for more on
troubleshooting Google Calendar please see their handy Help page:

*
*
*Couple of suggestions for coping with this:*
*
*
- *For when you are planning from home: You can globally change the
timezone setting for ALL your Google Calendars via Settings, Calendar
Settings to view VRA+ARLIS/NA Conference event times in GST -06:00 Central
Time. *
- *Once you are in Minneapolis: From your handheld device or your laptop,
**if you have time zone support enabled, the **timezones and your Google
Calendar(s) should self-correct to Central Time. Or you can adjust the
timezone once you have arrived.*
Keep those questions coming -- either via direct emails or via the
listservs. As always, if we can, your conference planners are happy to be
of assistance to you.
See you all in Minneapolis!!
Heidi
