69th Council and General Conference: International Federation of Library
Associations and Institutions IFLA Berlin 1-9 August 2003
CALL FOR PAPERS: OPEN SESSION OF SCHOOL LIBRARIES AND RESOURCE CENTRES
SECTION OF IFLA
We invite you to submit a proposal for a paper at the Open Session of
the School Libraries and Resource Centres Section to be held during
the IFLA Conference in Berlin
Proposed papers should cover the theme:
School Librarians, social responsibility and partnerships:
The role of libraries and school librarians in school library programmes
which satisfy the school community's need for information and confront
controversial issues. These might be social issues and political concerns
which face young people in their daily lives, for instance: racial or gender
bias, issues facing refugees, HIV/AIDS, drugs, child labour and human rights
issues. Partnerships with other professionals are essential in information
needs analysis and information provision.
We are interested in ways in which school librarians are addressing this
issue. We wish to share good practice to support colleagues who wish to
improve their services to young people in this area
Proposals for contributions are sought now. Papers that do not address this
theme will not be selected.
An abstract should accompany the proposal, of at least one page.
The deadline is 28 February 2003. The result of the selection process
will be announced by 14 March 2003.
Papers should not exceed 10 pages, including references. In order to
be included in the conference papers, a camera ready copy will be due
by 9 May 2003. Presenters will be allowed 20 minutes for the delivery
of their paper.
Please note that all fees, including registration to the conference,
travel, accommodation etc., are the responsibility of the authors of
the accepted papers.
