>Dear Colleague,
>
>RMIT University's International Centre for Graphic Technology has great
pleasure in inviting you to participate in:
>
>THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK
>Cairns, Australia, 22-24 April 2003
>http://www.Book-Conference.com
>
>As an information architecture, the book is now 550 years old - if one
dates its history from Gutenberg's invention. Or much older if one dates it
from the Chinese invention of moveable type, or the codex, or even the
beginning of writing on transportable media. But what is the book's future,
as a creature of and conduit for human invention? Do the new media (the
Internet, multimedia texts and new delivery formats) represent a threat or
an opportunity?
>
>The International Conference on the Future of the Book will provide you
with an opportunity to share your own work with a broad range of researchers
and recognised leaders in the fields of writing, IT, business management,
librarianship, publishing, printing, educational materials production, as
well as and university teachers and researchers in areas related to writing,
publishing, books and literacy.
>
>Papers submitted for the conference proceedings will be fully peer-refereed
and published in print and electronic formats. If you are unable to attend
the conference, virtual registrations are also available allowing access to
the electronic versions of the conference proceedings, as well as virtual
presentations which mean that your paper can be included in the refereeing
process and published with the conference proceedings. 30 minute and 60
minute sessions are also available for presentations of initiatives by
practitioners in the book industry. The deadline for the current round call
for papers and presentations is 15 December 2002. The closing date for the
following round will be 1 February 2003.
>
>Full details of the conference, including an online call for papers form,
are to be found at the conference website.
>
>We do hope you will be able to join us in this vibrant tropical region of
Australia, and to attend this important and timely international conference.
>
>Yours Sincerely,
>
