SOA Call for Poster Presentations

The Society of Ohio Archivists is accepting proposals from students and professionals for a poster session during the 2013 SOA Spring Conference at the OCLC Conference Center in Dublin, Ohio on April 5, 2013.  Posters will be displayed throughout the conference with a specified time for presenters 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 presenters have worked; or report on archives and records projects in which presenters have participated (e.g., development of finding aids, public outreach, database construction, etc.). Submissions should focus on research or activities conducted recently.
