About the Jean Tague-Sutcliffe Doctoral Poster Competition

This competition has been 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 (e.g., 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, 2011. Failure to submit a poster at this 
time will result in elimination from the competition.
* Students whose posters are accepted are required to register for and 
attend the ALISE 2012 Conference in Dallas, TX on January 17-20, 2012.

Submission Requirements

* To enter the Jean Tague Sutcliffe Doctoral Student Research Poster 
Competition, please submit a 500 word abstract either in plain text 
format, in PDF format, or in MS Word format to Barreau at email.unc.edu by 
midnight, October 3, 2011.
* All submissions must be sent to the email address listed above, with 
the following phrase in the subject line: Doctoral Student Research 
Poster Competition.  When the submission is received, a notification 
will be sent in response.
* Submissions should include the student's name, title of the research 
study, name of the faculty advisor, university affiliation, the 
student's email address for confirmation, and a 500-word abstract.
* The final submission deadline is October 3, 2011, and posters are 
accepted on a first-come first-served basis.

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 benefit for practice, forwards the 
understanding of theory or sets important to new theoretical direction, 
and results 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 are appropriate, well-described and demonstrate meaningful results.
* Oral Presentation:  Presentations are clear and to-the-point, 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, attractive, could be interpreted without oral 
presentation, and are coherent with oral presentation.

Poster Guidelines

The Doctoral Poster Session Co-conveners are currently evaluating 
potential changes to the poster guidelines pending additional 
information about the venue in Dallas.  Students whose abstracts meet 
submission requirements will be notified about final sizes and formats 
as soon as possible.
