Subject: NASIG Poster Sessions:Final Call

FINAL CALL!

The NASIG Program Planning Committee invites applications to present a poster
session at the 17th NASIG conference in Williamsburg, VA, June 20-23, 2002!
The theme of the conference is "Transforming Serials: The Revolution
Continues.”  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 that 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 Friday, June 21st, 2002
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.

To apply to present a poster session, submit a completed application and 250
word abstract to:
