The 2009 National Program Committee (NPC) invites submission of abstracts for a special late-breaking poster session at MLA '09. Submissions sought include new technology trends that have recently emerged, innovative library programs, and notable projects or research that has taken place (or been completed) since the original October poster submission deadline.

Priority will be given to original submissions. Previously submitted abstracts should only be resubmitted if they include new information or results.

Authors are encouraged to submit a structured abstract and should use the late-breaking poster submission form to submit your abstract by Monday, March 16, 2009.

Twenty-five posters will be selected. Posters will be presented during the regularly scheduled poster sessions. The primary author will be notified of acceptance by email the week of March 23, 2009. The lead or presenting author must be identified at the time of submission and is expected to pay for that day's registration. Presenters will be required to staff their posters at their assigned poster session time.

Posters will be available for viewing during MLA '09. Posters and related handouts will be posted to MLANET prior to the meeting.

See the original Call for Participation (PDF) for additional information about poster boards and other information about the exhibition space. For more information about posters, see the frequently asked questions on the MLA '09 website.
