Dear colleagues,

Share your best ideas with the national and international library community by presenting a poster session at the ALA Annual Conference!

Proposals for poster sessions to be presented at the 2011 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans 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 7.

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.

The deadline for submitting an application is January 7, 2011. Applicants will be notified by Feb. 28, 2011, whether their submission has been accepted for presentation at the conference, prior to the ALA Early Bird Registration deadline. The 2011 ALA Annual Poster Sessions will be held June 25 and 26, 2011 (the Saturday and Sunday of the conference) at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
