Subject: International Poster Session at ALA


CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL POSTER SESSIONS

The International Relations Round Table (IRRT)
Invites you to present a poster session at the
ALA Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida  June 24-30, 2004.

WHAT IS A POSTER SESSION?

This is a forum for librarians from around the world to highlight their
libraries and to share their successful ideas with colleagues by presenting
a research study, a practical problem-solving effort or an innovative
library program. Poster sessions are displayed on bulletin boards (1m 20cm x
2m 40cm). Pictures, graphs, data and text are used to illustrate the
presentation. Poster presentations provide other conference participants an
opportunity to quickly and easily become acquainted with your topic. An
effective poster presentation highlights, with visual display, the main
points or components of your topic. Poster Sessions can cover any project or
program. Some suggested subject categories for poster sessions are:

Conservation and Preservation, Library Services to Special Groups, Reference
and Information Services, Management, Children's Services, Information and
Referral Services, Young Adults' Services, Reference, Personnel, Library Use
Instruction, Planning and Evaluation, Circulation Services, Organization,
Special
Collections, Technology, Automation, Archives, Education, Continuing
Education, Telecommunications, Library Education, Computers, Rare Books,
Literacy
