Poster Session
History Poster sessions were introduced to the
ALA 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 a report of a research study an
analysis of a practical problem-solving effort
a description of an innovative library
program These very informative sessions cover a
broad range of subjects grouped according to such
areas a management, collection development,
technology, reference and library services to
special groups. Poster secessions participants
place materials such as Pictures, data, graphs,
Diagrams and narrative text on bulletined
boards. During their assigned time periods,
participants informally discuss their
presentations with conference attendees. Above
