The NASIG Program Planning Committee invites applications to present a
poster session at the 17th NASIG conference in Williamsburg, VA, June
20-23, 2002! The theme of the conference is "Transforming Serials: The
Revolution Continues." 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 that may be of interest
to the serials community. In keeping with NASIG's tradition of
non-commercialism, poster sessions focusing solely on a commercial product
will not be accepted.

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 21st, 2002 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.  NASIG will assist with reproduction of handouts.

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