PHOTOCOPYING
The
conference organizers are providing each presenter with 25-30 photocopies
and 5 blank transparency sheets.
Photocopying
is available through a Bermel card which can be picked up from Jorge
Lopez (Arts Centre 514). The transparency sheets can also be picked
up from Jorge. The card and transparencies will be available 2-6
October.
We
ask that you use the photocopier in the Arts Centre Resource Room (703),
so that the card can be returned to Jorge as soon as possible for other
presenters to use.
Bermel
photocopiers count each side of a page as one photocopy (in other words,
15 pages double-sided will cost 30 copies).
As
the conference is being held on a Saturday, the Graduate Centre facilities
will be closed. If you find that you must do some photocopying
on the day, the ERC library is open from 1-5pm and the Baillieu Library
is open from 11am - 5pm. Photocopying facilities are available
in these libraries at your own expense.
We
recommend that you be prepared for an attendance of 20.
We
also recommend that a single-side of an A4 sheet of paper should be
sufficient space for the information covered in a 20 minute presentation.
Session
Chairing
Now
that the schedule is finalized, we need to organize the session chairs.
If
you are planning to attend all presentations in one session (3 for morning
sessions, 2 for afternoon), then you can volunteer to chair that session.
A
session chair basically introduces each presenter - something along
the following lines:
I'd
like to introduce our next presenter, So and So from X University.
So and So is a PhD/Master's student working on such and such, and today
will be discussing ....
Session
chairs also have to 'gently' hurry along presenters who are going over
time. When the presentation is finished, the chair calls for questions
and after that says something like Let's
all thank So and So...
If
you are interested in chairing a session, please e-mail
Nick.
Other
Information
If
you are not able to present, please notify
Leslie
immediately,
as there are alternates waiting to see if presentation timeslots become
available.
Papers
are to be 20 minutes, with 5 minutes for questions.
Sticking
to the time limit is crucial.
Conference
rooms are equipped with a white board and an overhead projector and
screen.
