Hello all,
Yesterday morning I began gathering papers and such to bring to the Chicago
AOM. Getting onto the program website, I searched for and downloaded the
entire SIM program. Then, to my great surprise (well, not really -- this is
AOM we're talking about), I discovered that it was IMPOSSIBLE to add session
contents all at once! It was necessary to enter EACH session individually,
and the contents could not be attached in toto to the program list, or even
attached at all via the website!
I do like a challenge. And I desperately needed a REAL program. So I
opened EVERY SIM session, copied the contents to a word file; cleaned the
whole thing up by removing icons, abstracts, and completely extraneous
semi-colons; and then pasted the paper titles and authors into my downloaded
program, which I had transformed into a word file to allow these additions.
SEVEN hours later, I had a SIM program.
So -- if you're a Luddite (like me) who doesn't yet carry the Internet
around in her/his pocket, or if you just think it's nice to have a real
program at hand, use the attached file as you will!
P.S. I did ask Barry about the online program format and he confirmed that
the AOM DOES NOT PERMIT the session contents to be downloaded all at once,
unless you get the entire near-600 page pdf, which is useless for
constructing a custom program. However, I have not given this document to
Barry in advance. I know he already has too much to do to prep for the
meeting. So, most mistakes can be attributed to AOM as I just copied and
pasted; some could be mine, if I 'cleaned up' something that should have
been left.
See ya,
Donna
