Dear
colleagues, 
 
Share
your best ideas and work with the national library community by presenting a
poster session at the 2012 ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim! 
 
Proposals
for poster sessions to be presented at the 2012 ALA Annual Conference in
Anaheim are now being accepted. An application form is available on the poster
session website, at http://www.lib.jmu.edu/org/ala/howto.aspx,
and the deadline for submission is January 6.
 
The
poster session committee encourages submissions from all types of libraries and
on any topic relevant to librarianship. Submissions may include a description
of an innovative library program; an analysis of a solution to a problem; a
report of a research study; or any other presentation that would benefit the
larger library community. 
 
Poster
session participants place materials such as pictures, data, graphs, diagrams
and narrative text on boards that are usually 4 x 8 feet. During their assigned
1½ hour time periods, participants informally discuss their presentations with
conference attendees. Titles/abstracts from previous years, and pictures of
sample posters, are available at the poster session website: http://www.lib.jmu.edu/org/ala. 
 
The
deadline for submitting an application is January 6, 2012. Applicants will be
notified by Feb. 29, 2012, whether their submission has been accepted for
presentation at the conference, prior to the ALA Early Bird Registration
deadline. The 2012 ALA Annual Poster Sessions will be held June 23 and 24, 2012
(the Saturday and Sunday of the conference) at the Anaheim Convention Center.
