(deadline extended!)
Share your ideas, your research,
or your library's projects at our poster session!
Deadline extended to March 20, 2009 - still time to get your proposal in!
The Social Science Division, Museum, Arts, & Humanities Division, and Education Division invite proposals for a poster session to be held during the divisions' open house at SLA 2009 in Washington, DC.
A one-year SLA membership will be awarded to the first author of the best poster, as judged by attendees.
The theme for the poster session is Inspiration and Diversity – SLA Around the Globe. We welcome proposals on any topic, but proposals focused on diversity or international issues in libraries or information work will be given priority.
The poster session will be a relaxed and informal time to share ideas with your colleagues. We welcome proposals from any SLA member, new or experienced, and especially from students.

Proposals should be submitted by March 20, 2009 via e-mail to murray@pop.psu.edu or mail to:
Tara Murray
Population Research Institute, Penn State
601 Oswald Tower
University Park, PA 16802
Please include a title and description of about 250 words, and your name, institution, e-mail address, and address. Proposals will be reviewed by a committee for quality and relevance to the theme. We will notify applicants of our decision by April 1, 2009.
The Open House and Poster Session will be held on Sunday, June 14 from 8:00-10:00 p.m., during the SLA 2009 conference.
Poster Guidelines for Presenters
- Posters will be mounted on freestanding cork boards that are 4 ft. high by 8 ft. wide.
- You may print your poster on one large sheet, or print smaller individual sheets. Do not use thick posterboard as it may be difficult to mount.
- All text and illustrations should be legible from a distance of 3-4 ft.
- The title should be in a larger font, about 1-1.5 in. high.
- You are encouraged to use color and visual elements.
- Please bring your own push pins for mounting.
Plan to mount your poster materials at least 15 minutes prior to the opening of the session and remove them within 30 minutes after the session closes.
During the session, please stay near your poster so that you can answer attendees' questions.
As part of SLA's greening initiative, handouts will be made available electronically for attendees to download. If you have handouts that you would like to make available, please send them to Brandy King.
