Abstract	A two-semester-long interdisciplinary support effort to improve student posters in organic chemistry lab is described. In the first semester, students' literature search report is supported by a workshop conducted by an Instruction Librarian. During the subsequent semester, a second workshop is presented by the Instruction Librarian, an English professor, and the Assistant Director of the college's Learning Center. In that workshop, the students are shown PowerPoint applications to enable them to produce digital posters. They also learn the conventions of scientific poster layout and design, scientific writing style, use of graphics, and correct ACS documentation. The interdisciplinary support culminates in a poster competition at the end of the second semester. The digital posters created not only exemplify professional scientific design and content; they are also easily transported, presented, and stored and eliminate the expense of printed posters.
