Call for Poster Sessions: SCLA 2010 Annual Conference

Poster sessions are an effective visual forum for exchanging information, a means to communicate ideas, research, and future trends, and a great way to highlight successful library programs and services.

Poster sessions may present any of the following:
• a description of an innovative library program or service
• an analysis of a practical problem-solving effort
• a report of a research study

Poster sessions consist of materials such as pictures, data, graphs, diagrams and narrative text placed on display boards. During the conference time allotted for poster sessions, presenters informally discuss their projects with conference attendees.

Twenty-five (25) simultaneous poster sessions will be selected for presentation at SCLA 2010, in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Poster sessions will be presented on Friday, October 22, 2010 from
8am-9am.
