    Dear Session Organizers,

    An addendum to Matt's message:

    Using transparencies with the document cameras requires taking
    some extra care to ensure that the transparency is completely flat in
    order to reduce unwanted reflections. Speakers may want to consider
    bringing the paper originals of the transparencies instead.

    Sincerely,

    John Swallow, local organizer

Here is a note from Matt Miller that describes the
rooms for the AMS meeting at Davidson.

 Dear session organizers:

 I did my site visit at Davidson on Wednesday. ALL
 Special Session rooms
 will be equipped with computer projection devices
 (you plug in your
 laptop and it projects on a screen, often, but not
 always, directly in
 front of the room--in some cases they have arranged
 that the drop down
 screen does not block the dry erase board). There
 are no chalkboards.
 The podium also has a document camera (known to some
 as an "Elmo"). This
 will project virtually anything: printed text,
 written text,
 transparencies, 3-D objects. In my experience
 the projection
 distinguishes colors but not always as faithfully as
 one might hope.
