The committee regrets that schedule adjustments are not an option. If for any reason, you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible. All poster sessions will be held in the convention center exhibit hall. Please check the conference program map for the exact location. In preparation, please read the following guidelines for preparing poster session presentations carefully, and do let us know if you have any questions. Overall, please remember that poster sessions are **posters**. Displays should be graphical in nature and easy to read from several feet away. 1. Each poster session will last one and one-half (1 ½) hours. During this time, the presenter must remain at the display to answer questions and discuss informally the contents of the display. 2. Your poster session presentation time cannot be changed. At least one of the authors must be present at the assigned time. The titles and names of authors of each poster session will appear in the ALA Program, which is distributed to all who register at the conference. The ALA Poster Session Booklet, which is available to all who attend poster sessions, lists titles, authors and abstracts of each poster session. 3. The mounting of the display must be accomplished during the 15 minutes preceding your scheduled presentation and taken down during the 15 minutes following your assigned time. 4. While we request poster board surfaces to be four (4) feet high by eight (8) feet wide, this can vary by 6 inches depending on the conference site, so be prepared for flexibility. Some boards may have an edging up to one inch. A table will also be provided for you to place handouts or other supplementary materials on. These are the only materials provided to you. You must bring pins or thumbtacks for mounting your display. 5. A heading should be prepared for your presentation using lettering at least one and one half (1 ½) inches high. Indicate the title of the presentation, the name(s) of the presenter(s), and their institutional/organizational affiliation(s) on the heading. 6. All lettering should be simple, bold, and easily legible at a distance of (4) feet. 7. Visuals should dominate your presentation. Think in terms of graphic impact. Charts, drawings, photographs, and other illustrations are encouraged. 8. Handout materials are encouraged but should be duplicated and brought with you. No duplicating facilities will be available. In lieu of handouts, you may wish to provide a sign-up sheet to record the names and addresses of attendees who might want more information, reprints, etc. 9. If you wish to bring electronic equipment to accompany your poster session, you must also bring a power source. No electrical outlets will be available for your use. Use of audio equipment, however, is discouraged because of noise levels throughout the convention center. 10. Valuable Information for Presenters, Sample Poster Sessions, and Frequently Asked Questions can be found on the ALA poster session web site, http://alaac15.ala.org/information-for-poster-session-presenters.
