Goal of Posters at AALS Annual Meeting
Posters are intended to provide authors an opportunity to present in clear and succinct fashion the thesis and conclusion of their research or to describe teaching innovations outside formal program presentations. Because the focus wass on the content of the research and innovative teaching, posters that were primarily promoting a particular school program, project, book or materials were not eligible for poster display. Other advertising or fliers were not permitted with posters.
Audience for Posters
The readers of posters were attendees at the AALS 2009 Annual Meeting in San Diego.
Who Can Submit a Poster?
A faculty member or professional staff member who is at a member or fee paid school can submit a poster proposal to a Section.
Display of Posters
Posters were displayed from Tuesday, January 6 through Saturday, January 10, 2009. Posters were grouped and identified as a Section's poster.
