Information on Archiving Your Posters

Dear SNO Bloggers,

At the Ghent meeting, I talked to you about the possibility of archiving your poster presentations. Here are more details:

I set up a section called "Network Archives" on our "DSpace" server here at UNM:
https://repository.unm.edu/dspace/handle/1928/2296

I archived one poster as an example, so you could see how it looks:

https://repository.unm.edu/dspace/handle/1928/2297


As I mentioned in Ghent, DSpace is well-cataloged by Google, and you will get a specific (and permanent) URL for your poster so you can reference it in your CVs or other papers. This is purely voluntary, but can be very beneficial to you, and it will serve to share your ideas and efforts with other interested people.

I am the adminstrator of the archive. If you would like to have your work included in the archive, please send me the following information in an e-mail:

1. Title
2. Author (s)
3. Keywords
4. Date
5. Publisher (where/when presented or published previously)
6. Citation (institution)
7. Abstract
8. Description
9. Funding support (if any)
10. Finally -- attach a PDF of the poster -- or if not possible, a Word or Powerpoint file.

My e-mail (for any questions as well): pakmajian@salud.unm.edu

I look forward to hearing from you!

Paul

Hi Paul,
I think that this is such a fantastic idea. It provides an opportunity for our work to reach a larger audience outside the TUFH conferences.
Are you including posters from previous conferences?

regards,
Raoul

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments! In answer to Raoul's question about including posters from previous conferences: absolutely! This capability became available just recently so this is the first time we're using it, but no problem on submitting posters from past years as well...

In answer to Jelle and Carole: for sure -- I will send a link to Yoka so she can post it on the Network site. As far as doing this same thing on the Network site... this has the advantage that the archive stays in one place, permanently -- and over time as the web evolves the DSpace software will stay up-to-date. As things change over a long period of time, sometimes regular websites change, etc.

Thanks for sending in the first poster, Carole -- I look forward to many more!

Paul
