[Lisa Johnston]

Second Call for for Poster Proposals:

ACRL Science and Technology Section (ACRL-STS)
ALA Annual Conference, Chicago, IL, 2009

The ACRL STS Research Committee and STS Program Planning Committee 
invite proposals
for posters to be exhibited during the STS program reception at the ALA 
Annual Conference
in Chicago. Posters will be displayed from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on 
Monday, July 13, 2009,
immediately following the STS Program, which starts at 8:30 a.m.

Be part of our program of the Science and Technology Section of ACRL and 
submit
your ideas by January 12, 2009. We encourage proposals for posters 
relating to
the following program theme:

*Big Science, Little Science, E-Science: the science librarian's role in 
the conversation. */

This program will explore the science librarian's role in the emerging 
conversation
concerning data and data curation in scientific research with the goal 
of raising
awareness and empowering science librarians to approach faculty members 
about
these issues. Therefore, posters should address the role of the science 
librarian
in scientific research. /

The STS Research Committee will select posters for the Chicago session 
through a blind
review process on the basis of timeliness, thoughtfulness, and relevance 
to sci/tech
librarianship and to the program theme. Additional criteria are 
available at:
