Have you developed creative methods to deal with special format materials? Completed some research studies? Found an imaginative solution to a special format materials problem in your library? If so, why not consider sharing those ideas that worked! Think about doing a poster presentation at the OLAC conference to be held October 26-29, 2006 in Mesa, Arizona.

All applicants should complete the Poster Session Application form [contact eicenhow@mun.ca
for a copy], and submit the completed form via e-mail, fax or postal mail to the Poster Session Coordinator. Applications will be reviewed by committee. Ten will be selected. Applicants will be notified by August 15, 2006 whether or not their posters have been selected.

An addition to yesterday's message. Your poster application should includea title and a 150 word abstract. Given the July 31st deadline, it mightbe wise to use fax or email; regular mail can be slow. We're lookingforward to learning about your ideas and projects!The deadline for receipt of applications: July 31, 2006.

OLAC provides the easels and tables; you provide the posters, graphics and handouts for your presentation. Presenters should plan to bring at least 50 copies of their handouts. Please make sure your contact information is on the handout. No network applications will be available, however, you may bring a laptop computer for your presentation. Presenters should plan
to be present for the entire time period.

The deadline for receipt of applications: July 31, 2006.
