Call for Presentations:

In addition to invited speakers,  we are inviting Irish Health Librarians and Information Professionals to consider doing an informal ‘speed presentation’ on a new or innovative aspect of your work or your information service.

The idea is that you make your presentation in a maximum of 8 minutes (!) and using only 2 PowerPoint slides. (presentations will be strictly timed).

Yes, it is a challenge, but one that we are all capable of achieving. 

What you should try to include: 
•    What you did
•    Why you developed the service /innovation
•    What have been the outcomes/ what have you learned
•    What do you plan for the future

We have space for 8 speakers, but could accommodate more if there is a demand.

Email to lfarragher at hrb.ie    by Wednesday Dec 23rd 2009  if you are interested in participating. 

Don’t be shy, use this as an opportunity to help prepare a poster or paper for future conferences, and as a marketing opportunity for your library and information service.
