[Luke Vilelle]

**Please
excuse cross postings**
 
Dear
colleagues, 
 
You
only have a week remaining to submit a proposal for a poster session at the ALA
Annual Conference in Chicago! The deadline for submissions is Friday, Jan. 18. 
 
Start
your application process now at http://ala13.ala.org/how-to-submit-a-poster-session.
 
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 old poster session website: http://www.lib.jmu.edu/org/ala (note
that this site is only serving as an archive for previous Annual Conference
poster sessions – for information on this year's posters, go to: http://ala13.ala.org/poster-sessions).
 
The
deadline for submitting an application is January 18. Applicants will be
notified in March, prior to the early bird registration deadline, whether their
submission has been accepted for presentation at the conference. The 2013 ALA
Annual Poster Sessions will be held June 29 and 30, 2013 (the Saturday and
Sunday of the conference), at the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago.
 
Questions
about poster session presentations and submissions may be directed to: 
 
Luke
Vilelle, chair of the ALA poster session committee, lvilelle at hollins.edu
Or
Candace
Benefiel, chair of the ALA poster session review panel, cbenefie at lib-gw.tamu.edu
