Call for Posters - Denver 2007 (Last Call)

Deadline for abstract submission: March 1, 2007

"New Technologies in Instruction and Training"
SLA Annual Conference - Denver 2007
Date/Time: Wednesday, June 6, 11:00a.m. – 12:30p.m.
Sponsors: Chemistry Division, Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics (PAM) Division, and the Science-Technology Division.

As the web has evolved, so, too, have programs that enhance our ability to communicate via the web. How have we, as librarians, been leveraging the creative potential inherent in these programs to communicate with and educate our patrons? Blogs, wikis, podcasts, webinars, RSS feeds, and personal response systems (clickers) are just some of the new technologies now in use throughout the web.

If you have been experimenting with any of these new technologies, or others yet unnamed, please consider sharing the results of your efforts at the upcoming poster session at SLA in Denver, June 2007. The poster session will provide an informal and lively venue for sharing innovative ideas on a topic that should interest all of us. Which new technologies have been working well for you? Which have not? How has your own use of these technologies evolved through time? Your colleagues will be most interested in learning from your efforts, both successful and unsuccessful.

Guidelines for materials and layout of poster presentations are available on the SLA Chemistry Division website.

Please submit your name, institution, fax, email address, poster title, and description (250 words or less) by email, fax, or surface mail to Bill Armstrong at the address given below. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2007. Any SLA Member is welcome to submit an abstract for consideration. In the event that a greater number of submissions are received than can be accommodated, members of the three sponsoring divisions will be given first preference. All applicants will be notified no later than April 1, 2007 as to whether or not their proposal has been accepted.
