*About the Jean Tague-Sutcliffe Doctoral Poster Competition*

This competition was established in memory of Jean Tague-Sutcliffe, 
professor and former dean of the Graduate School of Library and 
Information Science at the University of Western Ontario (now the 
Faculty of Information and Media Studies). During her thirty-year 
career, Professor Sutcliffe’s research on the measurement of information 
made significant contributions to the theoretical, methodological, and 
practical foundations of library and information science. This award, 
established by students at UWO in 1997, also recognizes Professor 
Sutcliffe’s dedication to the education of information professionals by 
awarding a certificate, a one-year student annual membership to ALISE, 
and a $200 cash prize to the first-place winner.

*Eligibility*

·Only one submission per student is permitted.

·Only doctoral students who have completed or are near completion of 
their doctoral dissertation research (i.e., post-proposal; the core data 
have been analyzed; the student is at the stage of drawing conclusions 
from the research findings) are eligible to enter this competition.

·Students whose posters are accepted must submit a final copy of the 
poster as a PDF by November 30, 2013. Failure to submit a poster at this 
time will result in elimination from the competition.As with poster 
proposals, final poster submissions will be made through EasyChair (see

·Students whose posters are accepted are required to register for and 
attend the ALISE 2014 Conference in Philadelphia, PA, on January 21-24, 
2014.

*Judging Criteria*

Posters will be judged according to the following criteria on a scale of 
1-5:

*Practical, theoretical, and statistical significance*: The discovery 
has broad application and potential benefit for practice, promotes the 
understanding of theory or suggests a new theoretical direction, and 
reports results that are statistically significant or provide a 
persuasive basis for argument.

*Design and method*: Research design is logical and appropriate to the 
problem or research question(s), and method(s) of data collection, and 
analysis is appropriate, well described and demonstrates meaningful results.

*Oral presentation*: Presentations are clear and to-the-point and are no 
longer than necessary to describe broadly the overall nature of the 
problem, the design and methodology, the results, and their implications.

*Organization, clarity, and aesthetics of visual materials*: Posters 
should be well organized and attractive, understandable without the oral 
presentation, and coherent with the oral presentation.
