The 2009 National Program Committee (NPC) invites submissions of abstracts for a special poster session featuring new technology trends and late-breaking research at MLA ’09, May 15-20, 2009, at the Hawaiian Convention Center in Honolulu, HI. Submissions sought include new technology trends, innovative library programs, and notable projects or research which have taken place (or been completed) since the original October poster submission deadline. Use the late breaking poster submission form <http://snipr.com/bq5jg> to submit your abstract by Monday, March 16, 2009.
Priority will be given to original submissions. Previously submitted abstracts should only be resubmitted if they include new information or results. As with previous poster submissions, authors are encouraged to submit a structured abstract as described at <http://www.research.mlanet.org/structured_abstract.html>. Posters will be available for viewing during MLA ’09. Posters and related handouts will be posted to MLANET prior to the meeting.
Twenty-five posters will be selected. Posters will be presented during the regularly scheduled poster sessions. The primary author will be notified of acceptance by email sent the week of March 23, 2008. The lead or presenting author must be identified at the time of submission and is expected to pay for that day’s registration. Presenters will be required to staff their posters at one of the following assigned times:
- Sunday, May 17, 2009 from 2:30pm-3:30pm
- Monday, May 18, 2009 from 1:30pm-2:30pm
- Tuesday May 19, 2009 from 10:00am-11:00am
See the original Call for Participation <http://www.mlanet.org/am/am2009/pdf/mla09_call.pdf> for additional information about poster boards and other information about the exhibition space. For more information about posters, see the frequently asked questions on the MLA ’09 website or contact 2009 NPC members Julia Kochi (julia.kochi@library.ucsf.edu) or Lisa Oberg (lisanne@u.washington.edu).
