> DESCRIPTION
> Because of its marginalized nature, its use of text and images and its
> reader-base, comics have traditionally been problematic for
> researchers,
> librarians and educators. On the other hand, comics have risen as an
> art
> form, eloquently depicting works of fiction as well as reality and
> scientific achievement in a powerful manner.
>
> The "Strips of Knowledge ~ le savoir par la bande" colloquium will be a
> unique chance to explore the world of comics, often criticized, but
> ever
> popular around the globe. We hope to highlight exceptional initiatives
> and events that use comics in libraries as well as any place of
> learning.
>
> In that sense, we invite librarians, educators, scholars, artists and
> other practitioners to submit papers presenting research, projects and
> activities that employ and promote comics. More specifically, the
> themes
> of interest are:
> · Knowledge transmitted by comics (promotion of science, learning,
> history and well being);
> · Knowledge about comics (history of the form, styles, genres,
> readership, and comics librarianship - collections development,
> promotion and use);
> · Know-how related to comics (creative process, techniques and
> methods).
>
> SUBMISSION PROCEDURE FOR PAPERS
> Each submission must contain the following items:
> · Title of the paper;
> · Name and Title of the presenter;
> · An abstract of no more than 150 words.
>
> Please send your submissions via email to Olivier Charbonneau, the
> colloquium coordinator, at this address: [log in to unmask]
> (make sure to use "Strips of Knowledge" as the title of your email)

> All papers may be presented in either French or English. A simultaneous
> translation will be provided for.
