2nd Call for Poster Sessions--2001 NASIG Conference Robb Waltner 29 Jan 2001 17:05 UTC
Please reply to: Robb Waltner <rwaltner@carbon.cudenver.edu> Dear Subscribers: Please forgive the duplication of this message. It has been posted to several lists. The NASIG Poster Session Task Force invites applications to present a poster session at the 16th NASIG conference in San Antonio, TX, May 23-26, 2001! The theme of the conference is "NASIG 2001: A Serials Odyssey." Poster sessions provide an opportunity to share innovative ideas and new applications of technology. They may present a report of a research study, an analysis of a practical problem-solving effort, or a description of an innovative program which may be of interest to the serials community. In keeping with NASIG's tradition of non-commercialism, poster sessions focusing solely on a commercial product will not be accepted. Presenters are assigned a 8' (wide) x 4' (high) bulletin board on which to display project documentation. In general, text should be brief and captioning should be in large and legible type. Informative graphics such as photos, charts and graphs are also attractive. The material should be presented in a logical sequence. Laptop computers and visual display devices may be used if they are provided by the presenter and operate on battery power (no electrical support is available in the poster session area). These interactive sessions are scheduled for 1:15 to 2:15 on Thursday, May 24th, 2001 during a break in other conference programs. Presenters should be prepared to discuss their poster session topic throughout the entire time allotted. Handouts and business cards are encouraged so attendees may take with them the presenters' main ideas and contact information. NASIG will assist with reproduction of handouts on-site. To apply to present a poster session, submit a completed application and 250 word abstract to: Robb M. Waltner Co-Chair, NASIG Program Planning Committee, Poster Sessions Auraria Library 1100 Lawrence St. Denver, CO. 80204 FAX: (303) 534-3648 Deadline for submission: Applications must be received by Friday, March 2, 2001.
