Subject: Registration for Satellite Conference on Serials Preservation: Now OPEN
Dear IFLA Colleagues: Registration is now open for the Satellite Conference on Serials Preservation, organized by the Section on Serials and Other Continuing Resources. Onsite hosting and generous local support is provided by the University of Bolzano Library: Librarian Elisabeth Frasnelli and her staff. Without them, this event would not be possible.
The title of the Conference is: PRESERVING THE CULTURAL LEGACY OF SERIALS FROM CONSERVATION (PRINT AND MANUSCRIPT) TO REFORMATTING (MANY FORMATS) TO DIGITAL (BYTES). Most of the proceedings will be in English. This is a program of interest not only to serials and preservation librarians, but also to historians, digital specialists, and others involved in the practice of current librarianship -- and our colleague publishers and vendors, of course.
We will begin with a reception in the early evening of Wednesday, 19 August. The programme will proceed all day Thursday, August 20th, and our hosts are providing a special treat that evening in an historic mountain castle, a dinner that promises to be an outstanding event. Then, to facilitate IFLA attendance, the Bolzano Library has arranged that all registrants will be transported by coach to Milano, once the conference ends at noon on Friday, August 21st. You should be in Milano by late in the afternoon. There we can all take up our IFLA responsibilities.
The Web site for this Satellite Conference is found at: http://www.library.yale.edu/socrspre2009
Once there, you will find a list of our exceptional speakers and their affiliations, as well as a link to the registration form; also there is the list of hotels our Bolzano hosts have identified for us to choose from. Registrants will be responsible for registration fees (25 Euros), transport to Bolzano (train from Milano, for example), hotel, and some meals.
If anyone needs a "letter of invitation" to be able to register, please let us know. There is also the possibility to fund registration for Library School students who wish to attend, though we cannot provide the accommodation. Please let me know if you are a student interested in such a possibility.
We look forward to seeing many of you at this outstanding program. Many thanks again to our Bolzano hosts for their excellent and enthusiastic work on all the on-ground planning and logistics. They are most generous with their time and resources. The program planning committee has included Standing Committee members: Hildegard Schaeffler, Alicia Wise, and Simonetta Pasqualis. Graziano Kratli, Yale University Library, has led the Web development work. Great appreciation to all. The exact schedule is currently being developed and will be added to the Web site at a later time. Please join us in beautiful Bolzano, on your way to Milano!
Cordially,
Ann Okerson, Chair
Section on Serials and Other Continuing Resources (SOCRS)
