History:
Poster sessions were introduced to the American Library Association at its
1982 Annual Conference in Philadelphia.
They are an effective forum for the exchange of information and a means to
communicate ideas, research, and programs.
Poster sessions may present any of the following:
Ø
a report of a research study
Ø
an analysis of a practical problem-solving
effort
Ø
a description of an innovative library program
Poster sessions cover a broad range of subjects grouped according to such
areas as management, collection development, technology, reference, and library
services to special groups.
Poster session participants place materials such as pictures, data, graphs,
diagrams and narrative text on bulletin boards. During their assigned time
periods, participants informally discuss their presentations with conference
attendees. Participants are selected through a double-blind peer review
process.
