Please join the five science divisions of SLA for the first session of a two-part web conference featuring many of the posters originally presented at the SLA Annual Meeting, June 2008, at the All Sciences Poster Session and Reception in Seattle. Session 1 begins today, October 6, 2008 at 8:00a.m. (CDT) and will last through the end of the day, October 21. Session 2 runs from Oct. 27 - Nov. 11. Each poster presentation will have its own discussion forum moderated by at least one of the authors/presenters.
The presentations and discussion forums for all posters will be open and available the entire duration of the conference, thereby allowing conference attendees ample time to see the posters and take part in any and all sessions of interest. The conference site will be open 24 hours a day, and, as discussions are asynchronous, you will be able to participate at times most convenient to you.
Full participation in the event will require registration, but this is free and painless. For those of you who have already registered for a previous conference, your Username and Password are still valid. If, however, you have forgotten what they are, just click on the login button on the conference home page without filling in anything, and you'll be provided a link which will enable you to have your username emailed to you and to reset your password. When you fill in your registered email address in the box provided, you will be sent instructions on how to reset your password.
If you do not choose to register, you may still view all content and discussions, but you will not be able to post your own comments or questions. We do hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to discuss the various topics with the presenters, however.
If you have any questions at all about the conference, how to participate, or problems with registration, please email or call William Armstrong at (225) 578-2738 or notwwa@lsu.edu.
