SOA Call for Student Poster Presentations

The Society of Ohio Archivists is accepting proposals for a special session dedicated to student scholarship during the SOA Spring Conference at the OCLC Conference Center in Dublin, Ohio on April 15, 2011. Students must be currently enrolled or have graduated no earlier than December 2010. Proposals must be received no later than March 14, 2011. 

Student Posters will showcase the work of both individual students and student chapters.  Posters will be displayed throughout the conference with a specified time for students to be present and able to discuss their project and answer questions.

Individual posters may describe applied or theoretical research that is completed or underway; discuss interesting collections with which students have worked; or report on archives and records projects in which students have participated (e.g., development of finding aids, public outreach, database construction, etc.). Submissions should focus on research or activities conducted recently.

Student Chapter posters may describe chapter activities, events, and/or other involvement with the archives and records professions. One person should coordinate the submission of each student chapter proposal.
