Ligtning Talk Guidelines
After feedback and discussion, our virtual poster sessions were reimagined as Lightning Talks. Presenters are given 10 minutes to provide a quick overview of their project/service/idea and then take questions. It is designed to be just a flash on the topic. A short powerpoint presentation is recommended. We will not have posters presented on site.
Time
Each presenter will receive 10 minutes to give a quick overview of the project/service/idea presented and then take questions. We recommend 5-7 minutes for the presentation. Q&A is included in the 10 minutes so please keep the overview as succinct as possible. There will be 5 lighting talks presented back to back - 2 on November 20 and 3 on November 21. The moderators will begin and end the sessions on time, even if you have not finished.
Moderation
Each session will have at least one moderator. The moderators will help set-up, get technical assistance if needed, and manage the time and Q&A. Q&A will include our virtual attendees via chat and a moderator will help monitor and field questions.
Rooms
Each presentation room is set up with a laptop and the slides will be projected into the room AND live-streamed for our virtual audience. The laptops will be PCs, and presenters must use the supplied laptops because presentation files will be preloaded onto the laptops. Wireless microphones will be supplied in each room. Presenters will be required to send their presentation files in advance of the event. Presentation files should be sent as a downloadable file, i.e Powerpoint, PDF, to the email - [email protected]
Conference Proceedings
Presentations will be live-streamed and recorded. Your presentation files will be shared publicly on our website. The recordings will be available only to registrants. Archived presentations are usually available in January of the following year. Presenters retain rights to their presentations. Access Services in Libraries, Incorporated retains the rights to the recordings of the live streams and will make them available for a limited time.
