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.
