Library and Information Professionals Summit 2014 From Brick to Click: Transforming Libraries into Social Spaces” Friday-Saturday, 7-8 February 2014


University of Delhi South Campus & Society for Library Professionals (SLP)
in Association with
UN Information Centre-New Delhi  &
Special Libraries Association, Asian Chapter
are pleased to announce  two- day
Library and Information Professionals Summit 2014
From Brick to Click:  Transforming Libraries
into Social Spaces”
on Friday-Saturday, 7-8  February 2014  at New Delhi, India

Conference Theme

With the emergence of distributed forms of information in a double click  environment, the role of physical libraries have changed considerably over the last ten years, to reflect changes in the nature of education. The importance of collaboration, group work and communication in teaching and learning are widely recognised and the central role of the library as a repository of facts and information is changing. While it is still important to have this kind of resource, it has proven to be a diminishing draw in terms of library traffic.

The notion of transforming libraries into social and cultural spaces is an expansive role for the future library not only serving as an information resource, but much more, with the exact mission and goals evolving and changing over time. A culture-based library is one that taps into the spirit of the community, assessing priorities and providing resources to support the things deemed most important. Libraries are in a unique position to experiment with creative spaces so the future role of the library can define itself. Since the role of the library 20 years from now is still a mystery, libraries need to  put their heads  together to  scratch the surface of many more changes to come and determine what ideas are drawing attention and getting traction.

The conference aims to address the main issues of concern within the framework of this transformation.

Program Structure
The conference program will include plenary sessions, invited and contributed papers, poster sessions, product presentations, panel discussions and an exhibition. A series of parallel sessions will be held offering delegates a wide range of in depth presentations by leading national and international experts.

Submission of Papers
Unpublished research papers on different themes of the conference are solicited by January  15, 2014. Submission of full papers (not more than 5 pages) with an abstract in approximately 200 words, keywords and references on A4 size paper with margin 1.5 cm on all sides in MS Word format in 10 points New Times Roman type single line spacing.

Collaboration in Collections: Libraries, Users and Information Providers: Call for Papers for ACD Section at IFLA 2013 in Singapore

World Library and Information Congress 2013
Acquisitions and Collection Development Section

79th IFLA General Congress and Assembly
Singapore 
17-23 August 2013

Conference Theme: Future Libraries: Infinite Possibilities

http://www.ifla.org/acquisition-collection-development

The Section’s 2 hour Open Session is: Collaboration in Collections: Libraries, Users and Information Providers 

Building and maintaining relevant collections requires innovation in these challenging times as libraries establish a greater digital footprint and explore different channels of scholarly communication and information delivery.? Working together with publishers and vendors to find ways to meet the diverse expectations and needs of library users demands new models of communication, programming, organizational infrastructure, reliance on multiple and changing technologies, and accompanying services.? This Open Session will emphasize how innovation and collaboration within libraries, among users and with the publishing and provider community will advance the role of collections.

Suggested subthemes, with a focus on innovation and best practices for potential speakers to consider:
Responding to users’ expectations  how & when?
Role of Open Access
Impact of eResources, challenges with acquisitions, licensing, pricing, perpetuity, use
 Cooperative collection development
 Resource relevance
 Relationships with information providers
 Collection assessment 
 Selection and de-selection
 Discovery of collections 
Promoting collections

The section invites speakers from all library environments (academic, public, government, school, special) who can address any of these themes in a 15 minute presentation at the WLIC meeting.? The goal is to create a diverse program of 4-5 speakers representing libraries from different parts of the world who have different experiences to share. Proposed papers must be original and not have been published elsewhere. It is hoped that all presenters will be able to prepare a formal paper, as well as a PowerPoint presentation; however IFLA realizes that it may be impractical to require that every speaker prepare a formal paper and PowerPoint slides. If that is the case, those speakers must prepare a substantial abstract, including references with URLs and bibliographies to accompany their presentation. All selected papers will have abstracts and links to full papers on the conference website. Presentations can be made in any of the official IFLA
 languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, but an accompanying translation of all papers into English must be provided. Discussion at the conclusion of the presentations will be highly encouraged.
Important Dates with which to comply: 31 January 2013  
Deadline for submitting 300 word proposals for papers and presentations, or substantial abstracts of 500 words if no paper will be prepared, plus a very brief biographical statement of speaker(s) Information should include: title of presentation; subthemes that it addresses, abstract, all authors, noting likely presenter; institutional affiliations; contact information, including all email addresses

28 February 2013  Announcement of final program and communication with all who submit proposals.? IFLA HQ notified of outcome from call.
1 May 2013 Deadline for submission of final paper.? Papers should be no more than 3,000 words and papers can be submitted in any of the official IFLA languages: Arabic, Chinese, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Russian, but an accompanying translation of all papers into English must be provided. Attempts will be made to provide translations into other official languages

30 June 2013 Deadline for all PowerPoint presentations from Speakers

June/July 2013. All speakers will be notified of the time of the program.
All proposals will be reviewed by a jury composed of members of the Acquisitions and Collection Development Section.

Please note that unfortunately, there are no funds to assist with your attendance at WLIC 2013. Please also note that in accordance with IFLA’s Open Access Statement, all papers that are presented at the WLIC 2013 should be available under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license.

All submissions and any questions should be sent via email in a MS Word attachment to Julia Gelfand (jgelfand@uci.edu) by 31 January 2013. The receipt of all submissions will be acknowledged.
