---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 18:10:48 -0500 From: Lisa Macklin <lisa.macklin@LIBRARY.GATECH.EDU> Subject: Reminder - NASIG Call for Poster Sessions REMINDER - DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF NASIG POSTER SESSION ABSTRACTS IS FRIDAY, MARCH 10TH. Call for Poster Sessions The NASIG Poster Session Task Force invites applications to present a poster session at the 15th NASIG conference in San Diego, June 22-25, 2000! The theme of the conference is "Making Waves: New Serials Landscapes in a Sea of Change." This will be the first time poster sessions have been offered at a NASIG conference. 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. 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 23rd 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. To apply to present a poster session, submit a completed application and 250 word abstract to: Lisa A.
