Strategic Alliances and Partnerships in Interlending and Document Supply

 

11th Interlending and Document Supply Conference in Germany / Hannover: 
20 - 22 October 2009

  
Participants are invited and welcome to submit papers for presentation during 
the ILDS conference 2009.

 
Conference papers should reflect the conference theme: 

Strategic Alliances and Partnerships in Interlending and Document Supply

  

Topics of interest include:

1) Cooperation in document supply and interlending

This Topic includes examples 

- of national collaborations which could serve as role models

- fields of interlibrary lending and document supply worth copying, which would 
also work in other library and information environments 

 

2) National and international experiences in resource sharing

Going beyond the limits of classical document delivery and interlending, the 
main focus lies on examples of virtual resource sharing.

Subjects of discussion are virtual libraries, portals and collaborative resource 
enrichment (e.g. tagging, web 2.0)

 

3) Open Access activities

The worldwide kick-off for Open Access was the "Budapest Open Access 
Initiative" in 2001. What was achieved since then? This topic tries to give a 
state-of-the-art and forward looking report on Open Access projects 
(national, international, subject-related, business models, role of publishers, 
economic aspects)

 

 4) Rights & Distribution / Licensing / Economic aspects

Investigations of regulations on the working fields of libraries, e.g. how have 
the national adoptions of copy right reforms affected the workplace and 
opened the options for the development of new library policies and services? 

Case reports of Libraries, Library Associations etc, are welcome 

 

5) Future Directions / The Future of. + panel (with of 5-8 persons)

Collection of propositions and research papers surveying the future landscape 
of libraries and information centres
