WHAT IS A POSTER SESSION?
Poster sessions literally are a forum for the exchange of information among delegates outside the programmed workshop sessions - a quick, visual way to communicate ideas, research and programs.

Poster sessions can be on a wide variety of topics, such as:

• a description of an innovative library program or a successful curriculum collaboration
• analysis of a practical problem-solving effort
• a display of a successful event, activity, etc.
• a marketing campaign
• research project results.

Pictures, data, graphs, diagrams and narrative text are placed on 8' x 4' boards supplied on site. In an assigned 45-minute time period, participants discuss their display informally with delegates.

RECOGNITION
If accepted, registration will be waived for one person for the day on which the poster session is to appear. The fee returned will be based on dividing the conference fee paid by the number of days attending.
