A poster session is a great opportunity to share an idea in progress or show other IUG members how your library did something well. We are interested in poster sessions on a variety of topics. If you need some ideas for what might be of interest to colleagues from other Innovative libraries, take a look at the Suggested Topics that have been compiled over the past few years and from the responses to the IUG 2008 meeting in Washington, D.C. You have the experience and ideas to share!! If you have an idea of your own and don't see it listed, please submit a proposal anyway.

Again, deadline for submitting Poster Session proposals is Friday, February 13, 2009. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the poster session proposal process.

The Program Committee and I look forward to getting all of your great proposals!

Thank you,

Carol Gyger
Chair, IUG 2009 Program Committee
