Scanning the Horizon
University of East Anglia, Norwich, 12-14 September 2001
A first call for papers has been issued for the 2001 mda Conference. The
theme for Scanning the Horizon will be the ways in which emerging and
converging technologies (including broadband, wireless and VR) are being
applied in the cultural sector. In particular we welcome papers on
applications for new uses, including innovative approaches to effecting the
dynamic involvement of users with collections and collections knowledge.
In addition we seek papers addressing future social impact. What effects
will there be in the way people respond to cultural institutions and will
those institutions that do not embrace emerging technologies be the
losers? The call for papers is directed at those working in and with the
cultural domains, including museums, libraries, archives and the built
heritage. A wide range of involvement is anticipated from professionals
in the cultural and commercial sectors, users, educators and decision
makers.
Please send paper proposals to Frances Bycroft [log in to unmask] with the
following information by Friday 1 December:
* Name of proposer, including job title and institution where applicable.
* Title of paper.
* Topic of paper.
* Explanation of how paper fits the conference theme.
We also welcome proposals for conference sessions, which will typically
involve 3 papers. Please include the above information for each paper plus
an explanation of the overall theme of the session.
