Call for Papers for the Allied Social Science Association Meetings, New Orleans, January, 2000

Dear SABE Affiliate,

SABE will hold a poster session in conjunction with the ASSA annual meetings in New Orleans, Saturday, January 6, 4:30-6:00 pm, 2000, in association with the Industrial Relations Research Association (IRRA). You are invited to submit a proposal for a poster-paper to be presented in this session.

Poster sessions encourage interaction between presenters and the viewers. Posters can portray succinctly and visually, either a model, theory, or an empirical study, and invite viewers to discuss the paper with the presenter.

The SABE tradition is to allocate about 5 minutes to each poster presenter to discuss her or his work as all presenters and other participants tour the SABE posters.

Below are instructions on how to prepare a poster.

If you've attended poster sessions before (such as SABE's poster session at the ASSA meetings in New Orleans, Chicago, New York, and Boston), you know how effective they can be. If you've never attended one—we invite you to try your hand at preparing one.

We look forward to seeing you, either as a presenter or viewer, in Boston.

Please send a brief proposal to Professor Morris Altman

PREPARING A POSTER

Posters are mounted on poster boards. The space available for SABE's posters permits about 10

poster-papers to be mounted.

Specific Instructions:

1. Prepare 4-5 pages on ordinary letter-sized paper (8.5" x 11"). The written or graphic material

should fit inside a box measuring 5" x 6" (11.5cm x 15 cm).

2. Enlarge each page on 11" x 17" paper. For example, if you enlarge each page 41% twice, you get

an 11" x 17" page twice the size of the original. If you use 12-point print in your original, then after

enlargement your print will be 24 point--big enough to read easily, even from a distance.

3. After enlargement, your poster-paper should comprise 4-5 pages, each 11' x 17'. Each page

should be numbered so that they can be arranged in logical order on a Poster Board.

Page One: Title, Author(s), and a short Abstract

Page Two: Main Results (perhaps as a "bullet" list)

Pages Three and Four: Tables, Figures, and/or Verbal Description of the Model.
