Step 3: Print Your Poster in Klamath Falls

The cost of printing your poster will be covered by the university. You must submit your poster to the Document Resource Center (DRC) by Friday, May 31st.

Submit Your Poster to the Library's Digital Collection (Optional) 

Oregon Tech maintains a digital repository for student project posters so they can be viewed online! This is a great opportunity to make your poster available on the web and gain recognition for your hard work. To see how it works, browse previous projects in Oregon Tech Library's digital repository for student projects.

To submit your poster, you will fill out the form below, which includes a place to upload your PowerPoint file. If the file upload fails, you can email a link to your poster file to libtech@oit.edu.

Submit your poster for inclusion in the digital repository here.
