The Research Committee of the Women's Studies Section hosts a Poster Session during our General Membership Meeting at the ALA Annual Conference in June/July. The purpose of our poster session is to provide beginning and established researchers and librarians an opportunity to present research or work in progress, and receive collaborative feedback and recommendations for future publishing and/or new initiatives.

• We especially encourage beginners to submit proposals as this is designed to be a mentoring opportunity and to give newcomers some experience!
