2010 Annual Research Forum
Call for Papers and Posters
The Librarians’ Association at UNC-Chapel Hill (LAUNC-CH) invites proposals for papers and posters to be presented at the Annual LAUNC-CH Research Forum. The Forum will be held Wednesday, May 5, 2010, from 1-4 pm, in the Hitchcock Room of the Sonja Haynes Stone Center on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill.
Papers should address research (broadly interpreted) in library and information science (LIS). Topics may include but are not limited to successful cost-cutting measures, collaborative projects, and implementations of programs and services. Presentations of selected papers should not exceed twenty minutes.
Posters provide opportunities to present LIS research-in-progress, projects, the implementation of new programs and services, or other efforts that would benefit from a discussion with the community.
We encourage submissions from librarians, library staff members, and information and library science faculty, students, and staff.
Posters will be displayed on 6’ tables and should be mounted on free-standing poster boards. Poster presenters will be expected to arrive early to set up their posters and to stand by them during the session to answer questions. Handouts are encouraged.
For suggestions on poster design, format, and content, please review this information from the UNC Health Sciences Library and/or the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics:
