The submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee of the

For successful applicants the deadline for submission of full papers
is April 15, 2008 to allow time for review of papers and preparation
of translations. The papers must be original submissions, not
published elsewhere, and should be no longer than 15 pages,
double-spaced. Papers should be in one of the IFLA languages with a
version in English to allow for translation in other IFLA languages.
