Oral Presentations

A 15-minute paper (including time for questions) is suggested. Time slots of other than 15 minutes may be allowed by the Program Chair for special situations. Carousel projection equipment for 2" x 2" slides will be standard equipment. If other equipment is needed, please discuss your needs with the Section Chair. The speaker must provide any special equipment to be used in the presentation.

You are asked to submit a paper or abstract for inclusion in the NCWSS Proceedings. The paper or abstract should be presented as a hard copy and on a computer disk to the session moderator at the time the paper is presented. The Proceedings Editor will send instructions for submitting papers and abstracts to the Proceedings when your title is submitted.

Poster Session

(Chair: Rick Bottoms, 660/446-3724)

The poster session begins at 8:00 AM on Tuesday morning, December 14. One poster mounting board, approximately 48 inches x 48 inches, supported on an easel will be provided by the NCWSS. The authors will be with their posters from 8:00 to 9:45 AM and from 4:00 to 5:00 PM on Tuesday, December 14. Posters will be positioned in the same area with the Sustaining Member displays and will remain in place all day Tuesday and until noon on Wednesday. Posters should be removed between 2:00 and 4:00 PM Wednesday. Posters will be arranged according to subject, so please indicate your section preference on the Title Submission Form. Additional details will be mailed to each poster author in early October. You are asked to submit a paper or abstract for inclusion in the NCWSS Proceedings. The paper or abstract should be presented as a hard copy and on a computer disk to the Poster Session Chairperson on Tuesday morning. The Proceedings Editor will send instructions for submitting papers or abstracts for the Proceedings when your title is submitted. The poster room will be open on Monday evening, December 13, and you are strongly urged to set up your poster at that time.

Please bring 50 copies of your abstract to the meeting. These will be made available at the meeting for those interested in your research.

The Alternate Communications Systems session is open to all subject areas and will allow a presentation to be made with a computer or a VHS video cassette tape or when a computer or a VHS video tape is a portion of an oral presentation. The room will not be set up with any other projection equipment.

The Alternate Communications Systems session will follow the format of the oral presentation and should be presented at the same technical level as a presentation that might be in any other session. A 15 minute presentation is suggested, including time for questions. Therefore, the actual running time of the tape should not exceed 10 to 12 minutes. If more time is needed, please make arrangements with the Program Chair. We intend to keep the video presentations on the same time schedule as other presentations.

An abstract or paper should be presented to the session moderator as a hard copy and on a computer disk at the time of the presentation for publication in the NCWSS Proceedings. All guidelines for a paper presentation should be followed in preparation of this abstract. We encourage you to present your video tapes that have already been developed for use in teaching, extension and industry that may be edited to fit the time frame of the meetings. In your introduction, please indicate if the unedited version of the tape or the tape presentation would be available for use by members of the NCWSS.
