Inspiration and Diversity – SLA Around the Globe - Poster Session

Call for Posters: Inspiration and Diversity (deadline extended!)

Deadline extended to March 20, 2009 - still time to get your proposal in!

Share your ideas, your research, or your library's projects at our  poster session!

 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.
