Call for Poster Session Presenters: Teaching with Technology

The LIRT Conference Program 1999 Committee is seeking presenters to participate in a poster session following the LIRT Conference Program at the 1999 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans. LIRT will present its program on Sunday morning, June 27, at 9:00 a.m.  Poster session presenters will be able to discuss their presentations with program attendees from 11:00 a.m.- noon.

If you use technology to teach library and information-seeking skills and you would be willing to share your experiences with other instruction librarians, we invite you to submit a proposal for a poster session. We welcome proposals that describe effective or innovative efforts as well as proposals that describe efforts from which you have learned how to "do it better." Include in your proposal a description of how you use technology in your teaching, a statement of what is effective or innovative, a statement about what you have learned, and a description of any materials (graphs, diagrams, pictures, narrative text, handouts, etc.) you would include in your presentation.  We hope to have presenters from ALL types of libraries in the poster session.

Send your proposal to Cynthia Krolikowski, Chair of the LIRT Conference Program 1999 Committee.  Submit it via email to ac4979@wayne.edu or surface mail to Cynthia Krolikowski, Purdy/Kresge Library, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48202.

Proposals must be received by January 15, 1999.  They will be reviewed, and presenters will be selected at Midwinter Conference.  Presenters will be notified by March 15, 1999.
