[Publib] Be part of the PLA Virtual Conference and Share Your Library's Successes and Challenges

[Brendan Dowling]

PLA is seeking interested parties to submit virtual poster sessions as
part of the first-ever PLA Virtual Conference. The PLA Virtual
Conference will be held March 27 and 28 during the live PLA National
Conference in Minneapolis. 

The topic of the poster session can be of the applicant's choosing, but
must be related to public librarianship. Virtual posters can be
submitted as Web pages, PowerPoint presentations, or other formats which
can be "mounted" on the Web.  Accepted posters will be mounted on the
PLA Virtual Conference Web site prior to the event. Presenters are also
welcome to participate in online discussions about their posters during
the Virtual Conference.

To apply, please send an email to khughes at ala.org, detailing your idea.
Please include the following:  primary contact name, phone number, email
address, job title and institution, names of additional contributors,
title of proposed virtual poster session, brief abstract (150-200) words
describing your poster session, format of virtual poster (e.g. .doc,
.html, .pdf) and if any special files/software/effects will be
incorporated. We are able to do voice-over narration, so if you would
like to take advantage of that, just include it in your proposal.
Proposals are due by February 21, 2008 at 4:00 p.m.  Selected proposals
will be notified by February 29, 2008.

The first-ever PLA Virtual Conference will offer librarians who are
unable to travel to Minneapolis the opportunity to participate in all
the excitement of a PLA National Conference. The Virtual Conference will
feature 10 education programs, special events, and networking
opportunities.
