Do you need to create a poster for a conference? Many library associations now encourage poster presentations instead of papers or panels. This workshop will help you design a poster that communicates your ideas with visual effectiveness. The workshop includes a "show and tell" and hands-on practice in poster design. Bring your ideas!

This session has been cancelled.

If you have any questions, please contact Johnnie Love (jlove1@umd.edu, x5-9048).

Please contact Dawn Borgardt (x4-2677, dsb@umd.edu) if you have any questions about your eligibility for this training.
