Call for Posters to be viewable from Monday 12th October

The Program Committee for Samvera Connect 2020 On-line is inviting contributions for the conference "virtual poster session".  All appropriate submissions will be accepted. Please remember, when designing your "poster", that this will not be an in-person event and that the image will be viewed on screens varying in size from a large desktop version to a small tablet or even phone - please feel free to explore formats that you think would work well.  In addition to the image, we invite you to submit a short set of notes about it, and/or a short audio/video description.  The image should be supplied as a jpg file (preferably) or as a pdf.  The descriptive material can be a file or a link.  The image will be loaded to, and accessed from, Samvera's repository which operates under a CC-BY license.

The posters and descriptive material will be made available on-line from Monday 12th October.  In order to generate discussion, there will be a Slack channel devoted to the posters but, in consultation with the authors, we will also set up for each one a 30-minute slot (using Zoom or similar) during the days Monday 19th - Wednesday 21st October between 11:00am and 2:00pm ET for conversation about it.  We shall use the conference Sched site (soon to be at sc2020.sched.com) to communicate the Zoom details.

The closing date for submission of files will be Friday 9th October.
