AOU 2001 Meetings, Seattle, WA

PAPER SESSIONS

Members and other ornithologists are invited to contribute to the scientific session. The Scientific Program Committee will select and organize papers in appropriate sessions based on scientific content of the abstract. More information regarding abstract submissions and deadlines can be found at The AOU Program Coordinator's Page.

Kroodsma and Byers (2000) have written a helpful article, providing some solid advice on preparing slides for successful presentations ( Auk 117(3):831-835). A PDF file of this article is available here. If you are unable to open this file, you may need to download a free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Other suggestions and guidelines on slide and poster presentations can be found on the AOU Program Coordinators website.

Electronic Presentations
Each presentation room will have a digital projector connected to a Windows-based Pentium laptop (in addition to 35mm slide and overhead transparency projectors). Each laptop will have a CD-ROM drive, Zip drive, and ethernet connection to the Internet, and will be equipped with Microsoft Powerpoint. The central slide preview room will have both a Macintosh and a Windows/Pentium desktop computer, each with CD-ROM, Zip drive, and ethernet connection to the Internet. Thus, for PC-based presentations, please bring your Powerpoint file(s) on a CD or Zip disk, or have it readily available across the Internet. Macintosh-created Powerpoint files will run on Windows Powerpoint, but care should be taken that the Mac-based file is in a format that is readable to the Windows-based projection computers. File transfers can be accomplished in the slide preview room on the side-by-side Macintosh and Windows computers, if necessary.
