[Asis-l] RE: Confusion about poster submission for ASIST 2004

[Richard Hill]

<jdownie at uiuc.edu> asked a question about poster submissions for the ASIST
Annual.  I am taking the liberty of answering with his question (below).

The templates are really there for submission after acceptance.  For the
proposal all we need is the abstract of the poster.

Subject: Confusion about poster submission for ASIST 2004

Hi gang:

Is anyone else confused (or better yet, has resolved the confusion) 
about what ASIST 2004 wants for a poster submission? I am reading the 
text at http://www.asis.org/Conferences/AM04/ to mean that we just 
submit an abstract of 150 words. The submission template however looks 
like a full-blown short paper....hmmmmmm.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers and thanks.
Stephen

Contributed posters

Contributed posters present new and promising work or preliminary 
results of research and design projects in a briefly worded and 
attractive display. Posters are expected to provide exposure for less 
developed work and to invite questions and discussion in a personal and 
less formal setting. Submissions must include title, author(s) and 
affiliations, and an abstract of up to 150 words (poster copy may be 
longer). Accepted abstracts will be published in conference proceedings.
