*Call 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: 
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/about/sections/sts/stsconferences/posters09.cfm

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: *Monday, January 12, 2009*. Review of
