Guidelines for moderating a conference session
As I was busy finalizing details for my division programs at SLA 2008, I stumbled across Conference Rules, Part 1 at the Chronicle of Higher Education. The article gives advice for moderators of panel sessions at academic conferences, but I think much of the advice is useful for moderators of other types of sessions as well. The tips for how to keep a Q&A session on track are particularly good. (Because when Q&A goes bad, it is really, really bad.)
