Library,

is retiring and it is very important to have a legacy for all information

gap between changing times and expectations.

information professionals to share ideas, best practices, regarding
developments in the different information units or research projects being
conducted or proposed, in one of the conference related sub-themes.

The conference sub-themes are as follows:
Sub-Theme I: Lessons from the past: recognizing
leaders in Caribbean librairies.
Sub-Theme II: Developing leadership skills.
Sub-Theme II: Developing leadership skills.
Sub-Theme III: Best practices in innovation in the
Caribbean.
What is a Poster
Presentation?
The aim of the poster presentation is to provide opportunities to share
experiences. It is, therefore, a presentation in a
poster board that advertises a service, a product, a topic, a research
endeavor. It allows viewers to walk by and observe a particular work being
presented, discuss and share ideas.
At ACURIL 2016 HAITI, the posters at the Caribbean Boulevard
will aim to provide a forum for information professionals to highlight and
share successful ideas and experiences with colleagues by presenting a special
project, a problem-solving strategy, a research study, an innovative program or
service in library and /or information services focusing on the conference
sub-themes. A space will be provided for
the Caribbean Boulevard to display the posters. Presenters will be required to bring finished posters to Port-au-Prince,
Haïti.
