Battledecks @ ER&L 2022 – The Zoom of Doom II: Teams of Memes, GoTo of Oh no!, and the Slack of Smack
While we cannot share the shenanigans in-person this year, BattleDecks@ER&L is on! Our elite team of library scientists is hard at work on some modifications to our usual format and are thrilled by the challenges of presenting a high-quality, contactless, fun experience.
What is BattleDecks? Also known as PowerPoint Karaoke, participants will present on a topic (probably library-related, possibly funny, definitely not of their choosing) for 3 to 3 and a half minutes, accompanied by 10-15 PowerPoint slides. No preparation required. Participants are judged, based on a criteria ranging from the quantitative use of time and slides to the qualitative general composure and ability to address the topic. A certain amount of artistic license is expected from both participants and judges in their work.
For this year’s BattleDecks@ER&L, we are looking for a few brave contestants to take the plunge.
Add BattleDecks to your ER&L schedule (Tuesday, March 15 – 5:00pm Eastern / 4:00pm Central) and see what it’s all about. Better yet, volunteer to do it!
