Call for Papers, IFLA Art Libraries Section
WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS:
73RD IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL
19-23 August 2007, Durban, South Africa.
The programme of the Art Libraries Section is planned under the
conference*s general theme of "Libraries for the Future: Progress,
Development and Partnerships"
The Art Libraries Section is pleased to announce its intention to hold
a 2-hour session and a workshop during the conference. The themes of the
Open Session and the Workshop are co-ordinated with the president's
theme of Partnerships and also the general IFLA theme.
THEME FOR THE OPEN SESSION:
Developing and documenting contemporary indigenous and minority
culture
THEME FOR THE WORKSHOP:
Art library outreach, to include:
--- working with other institutions to increase the relevance of
libraries in the modern world.
--- partnerships and outreach to indigenous communities
We suggest focusing on the role of the art libraries and their partners
in documenting and preserving threatened cultures.
These themes encompass the philosophical and practical sides of the
same issue. With these topics the Art Libraries Section reflects
IFLA*s interest in the rich heritage of indigenous cultures. Loss
of such heritage is often caused in part by technology, but can also be
preserved into the future with the help of technology.
You are invited to take part by submitting a paper for presentation.
Alternatively we welcome recommendations of speakers who are well
qualified to address any aspect of the topic.
The Proposal for a paper should include the following details:
* Author's name;
* Institution (with address, telephone, facsimile and e-mail);
* Biographical sketch;
* Title of paper;
* Original language version (English, French, German, Spanish,
Russian);
* Technical support required (e.g. computer projection, overhead
projection, slide projection).
DEADLINES:
Proposals for papers are due 9 February 2007. Please include the title
and an abstract of the proposed paper of between 100 and 200 words.
Notification of acceptance of your paper will be given by 20 February
2007.
The full paper must be completed and sent to the Chair of the Art
Libraries Section by 1 April 2007. Papers should be no more than 8
pages on A4 paper, double spaced.
