Abstract Submission Instructions

1. Only data not presented at other national or international meetings may be submitted. Abstracts presented at local or regional meetings may be submitted.

2. Abstracts are to be submitted online at www.prolibraries.com/nacct. This is the same site that manages the conference CME and lecture handouts. If you have one, you may use the same login and password you have used in the past or you can establish a new account. The web site is accepting submissions from now until midnight EDT on 11 April, 2011. Ensure a smooth submission process by not waiting until the last minute. Notification emails will be sent around the middle of May.

3. After logging on to ProLibraries:

a. Redeem the conference code NACCT2011

4. Abstracts must include the following sub-categories:
