Call for Posters and Lightning Talks
If you have presented, or plan to present, a poster or lightning talk at another meeting this year (such as MLA or Midwest Chapter/MLA), recycling content at HSLI is totally okay! Posters will be in electronic format only. If you’d prefer a lightning talk, you can submit a small set of slides (5 or less). Each presenter will have 5-10 minutes to discuss their poster or lightning talk.
Ideas can include, but are not limited to, any area of librarianship such as instruction, leadership, DEI initiatives, program development, communication, collections and collection management, outreach, and evaluation. Incorporating this year’s conference theme is appreciated but not required. Student submissions are encouraged.
For either submission type, presenting author(s) must register for the conference and be available virtually to present (exact time TBD). More information about the conference can be found at the HSLI website.
Abstract Submission Instructions
For consideration, please submit an abstract (including your preference for a lightning talk or poster presentation) of no more than 300 words to Carmen Howard at choward4@uic.edu or Frances Drone-Silvers at frances.drone-silvers@carle.com. The deadline for submission is Sunday September 1, 2024. Participants will be notified of acceptance no later than Sunday September 15, 2024. Once notified of acceptance, posters or slides are due on Tuesday October 15, 2024.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to either Carmen or Frances.
