[CALIBK12] CSLA Conference 2007 Poster Sessions - Please Participate!

[Jane Lofton]

Dear CSLA members:
 
By now, we are almost all enjoying a well-deserved summer vacation.
(Apologies to those doing summer school or on year-round schedules!) During
these relaxing days of summer, why not think about one easy project - plan
to contribute a poster session at CSLA Conference 2007! 

CSLA will be presenting poster sessions at our Annual Conference in Ontario
in November 2007 for the second year. These poster sessions - modeled after
the poster sessions at the ALA conferences - offer presenters an opportunity
to share information about their successful school library programs,
research, and practices. Poster sessions offer you a forum in which to share
ideas that call for more than a handout but less than a concurrent session
presentation. Conference attendees will appreciate the opportunity to visit
poster sessions on topics such as collaborative lessons, college programs
for library staff, advocacy and legislation, library events, services to
school libraries, and more. All of you are doing great things at your
libraries; consider applying for a poster session to share your
accomplishments and ideas with others! 

Poster sessions will be displayed on either a whole or a half of a 4' x 8'
mobile bulletin board in the Exhibit Hall of the Convention Center
throughout the Exhibit Hours of the conference. The surface of the mobile
bulletin boards will be tacky and display items can be affixed to the board
using Velcro, pushpins or T-pins. You will not need to stay with the display
once it is set up. You can include handouts in a hanging file or folder
affixed to the board.  

If selected, you will set-up between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Thursday,
November 15th for the Grand Opening of the Exhibit Hall.  Your poster
exhibit must be taken down by 6:00 PM on Saturday, November 17.

Please visit  <http://schoolibrary.org/con/poster_session.htm>
http://schoolibrary.org/con/poster_session.htm for more information, photos
of last years' sessions, and a copy of the proposal form. Poster session
applications are due by October 1, and you will be informed if you are
selected by October 17. But, why not get your application in and begin
planning your poster before the back-to-school rush?
 
Please contact Jane Lofton at  <mailto:jane at lofton.com> jane at lofton.com or
(818)865-8010 (home) or for more information. You must register for the
conference to participate in the poster sessions and we will be unable to
accept commercial vendor applicants.
 
Thanks, and please enjoy a restful, restoring summer!
