Fall 2009 LTA 230 Virtual Poster Session

Welcome to the third annual poster session for LTA 230: Library Public Services here at the College of Lake County. Each year, students in LTA 230 design a library program and present their ideas in a poster session open to the public. This year presented a bit of a challenge for the students since the class is fully online. Thus, the Virtual Poster Session!

Five groups of students were asked to plan a program for teens in a ficticious library and convey the basic plan for the program using PowerPoint rather than a physical poster. Students were limited to 10 slides and were required to include information such as:

1. Title
2. Purpose
3. Goals/objectives
4. Primary audience
5. Expected attendance
6. Description of the program
7. Presenters (if applicable)
8. Collaborating organizations (if applicable)
9. Staffing
10. Budget concerns
11. Plan for publicity.
