· Exclude the name of your institution, department and any personal names in the abstract to expedite the blind review process. You do not need to exclude this information in the brief description.

· You will be contacted regarding your AV/technology requirements when your proposal is accepted.

· All presenters will be responsible for their own registration and travel costs.

· Please print a copy of the completed form for your records before submitting.

· You will receive an email confirmation upon submission. If you do not receive this confirmation email, please contact: Diane Schrecker, Ashland University Library at [email protected]
