Call for Poster Sessions

The NASIG Poster Session Task Force invites applications to present a
poster session at the 15th NASIG conference in San Diego, June 22-25,
2000!
 The theme of the conference is "Making Waves: New Serials Landscapes in
a
Sea of Change."  This will be the first time poster sessions have been
offered at a NASIG conference.  Poster sessions provide an opportunity
to
share innovative ideas and new applications of technology.  They may
present a report of a research study, an analysis of a practical
problem-solving effort, or a description of an innovative program which
may
be of interest to the serials community.

Presenters are assigned a 8' (wide) x 4' (high) bulletin board on which
to
display project documentation.  In general, text should be brief and
captioning should be in large and legible type.  Informative graphics
such
as photos, charts and graphs are also attractive.  The material should
be
presented in a logical sequence.  Laptop computers and visual display
devices may be used if they are provided by the presenter and operate on
battery power (no electrical support is available in the poster session
area).  These interactive sessions are scheduled for 1:15 to 2:15 on
Friday, June 23rd during a break in other conference programs.
Presenters
should be prepared to discuss their poster session topic throughout the
entire time allotted.  Handouts and business cards are encouraged so
attendees may take with them the presenters' main ideas and contact
information.

To apply to present a poster session, submit a completed application and
250 word abstract to:
