Apologies for cross posting *************************** You may be interested in attending the First Türk-ANZAC Research Libraries Conference: Johnnies and Mehmets side by side: Collaborative application of technology in research and academic libraries which will be held 25-28 April 2006 at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale (Gallipoli), Turkey. The Turk-ANZAC Conference will bring together librarians, archivists, museologists, film and media artists and historians from Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Britain and Russia. Anyone with an interest in the history of Gallipoli, which lies at the heart of the history of three nations, or who may be involved with technology or the digitisation of information would be interested in attending this Conference. The conference has been inspired by the extraordinary words of reconciliation penned by the founder of Turkey, Kemal Atatürk, in 1934: "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country; therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here, in this country of ours..." Program and registration details can be found at http://www.library.uq.edu.au/turk-anzac-conf2006/tours/registration.pdf . The deadline for registration is 15 November 2005.
