I'm updating my CV with some presentations (hurray!), but I'm stumbling with how to format talks, poster presentations, etc.
Would any of you mind sharing how you format this section of your resume?
Thanks.

I try to keep it pretty simple: "Title of Talk." Location or Conference Title. Date. Link to handout or PPT if available. Optional brief description, generally one sentence, perhaps more if there is nothing to link to. For example: "Web 2.0 | Library 2.0." Falmouth Memorial Library Staff Development Day. March 26, 2007. http://msl1.ursus.maine.edu/jforest/web2.ppt "Tech Tips and Trends." Maine Library Association Annual Meeting. May 5, 2006. Participated in a panel discussion covering emerging technologies for libraries including blogs, downloadable media, Instant Messaging reference, open source software, and online surveys.

I only only put the title, the date of presentation, and the place (conference) where it was presented. If it is a publication, the date and name of publisher--I would suppose if you had something on the web and it was picked up by other sites I would indicate that. I don't have any big web items, so I am not sure about that. IF you do a workshop within a system, just say it was a system workshop on whatever date, and the subject covered. If anyone wants details, they will ask you in an interview. If you have an on-site interview, be sure to take a porfolio (small one!) with you. That way you have material to share if there is interest.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions.
Hollis, I hadn't thought before to include in-library workshops, which is a great idea.

Below an excerpt from my resume to show the "format" I used for presentations (for the first one, I did two presentations at the same conference):
Customers of Dynix, Inc.
Seventeenth Annual Conference: Focus on the Future Salt Lake City, Utah
October 2006
• Conducted sessions titled “Picture Perfect: Displaying Thumbnails in the Information Portal” and “Wedgin’ It From the Tags: MARC Data Extraction Via SQL”
Mid-Atlantic Innovative Users Group
Second Annual Conference Washington, District of Columbia
October 2000
• Co-conducted a session titled “Transitions to Millennium: Problems and Successes”
The indentation works better in Microsoft Word but I think you get the idea. When the time comes to revise my resume, I should probably include a brief description like Guybrarian did. I hope that helps and good luck! :)
