[Melanie Norton]

  Paper & Poster Presentations

You are invited to submit proposals for contributed papers and posters 
for the 2006 SC/MLA and MAC/MLA joint meeting in Atlanta, Georgia on 
October 12-16. Our theme is,


    "Together: New Horizons, New Opportunities"

 

*The deadline for submitting abstracts is June 16, 2006.*

Proposals should relate to:

* COLLABORATING-Elaborate on how you have worked together with other 
libraries, health professionals, agencies, or others.

* INNOVATING-Share your new technologies or ways of thinking outside the 
box.

* CREATING OPPORTUNITIES-Let others know how you have opened doors 
proactively.

* PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE-Tell your colleagues what you have in mind and 
how they can make it happen.

Proposals must be submitted in the format of structured abstracts (see
http://www.scmla.org/abformat.htm or 
http://hubnet.buffalo.edu/mla/abstract.html).

Submit two copies of abstract text of up to 300 words in length. Include 
a list of authors, their institutional affiliations, email addresses, 
and telephone numbers with the first copy of the abstract. The second 
copy will be used in a blind review process and should not include any 
specific information identifying authors or institutions. The primary 
author will be notified of the committee's decision by August 16. 
Additional information (i.e. time, location, setup instructions, etc.) 
will be sent with acceptance notification. Those presenting in Atlanta 
must be registered for the meeting.

Contributed Papers: Email abstracts to Martha Earl at mearl at utk.edu 
using a Word attachment.

Posters: Presenters should plan to be available to staff posters during 
a one-hour poster session. Posters will remain up for viewing for the 
remainder of the conference. Each presenter's area will be provided with 
a poster board (8 x 4) and a six-foot skirted table. Electrical 
connections may be available. Email abstracts to Glenda Mendina at 
MendinaG at methodisthealth.org using a Word attachment.

Abstracts will be evaluated on originality, innovation, organization and 
clarity of presentation, and relevance to improving service or practice.

*The deadline for submitting abstracts is June 16, 2006.*
