New Realities, Roles and Resources
Internet Librarian International 2007
8-9 October 2007 Copthorne Tara Hotel, London
Information Today invites proposals for presentations at Internet
Librarian International 2007: New Realities, Roles and Resources, taking
place at Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, UK on 8 - 9 October 2007.
We are looking for a mix of papers for conference sessions, workshops
and short tutorials. Our emphasis is on the practical rather than
theoretical. We are seeking case studies and proposals about initiatives
in your organisation, not product pitches or overviews.
To be considered as a speaker, please submit your ideas at
www.internet-librarian.com/CallForSpeakers.shtml

Nine years after the first Internet Librarian International, it's clear
that internet technologies have vastly altered our professional and
personal lives. The amount and types of information available in
digitised form has increased exponentially, presenting information
professionals with challenges in finding, analysing, managing,
customising and sharing information. The new realities of electronic
research affect everything we do. New roles mean we may not call
ourselves librarians and new resources change our approach to research.
It's an exciting, exhilarating, sometimes exhausting world for internet
librarians. What has worked in your work environments and what has not?
Share your experiences and thoughts with your colleagues during Internet
Librarian International this autumn.
Possible topics (but don't let this limit your imagination):
Web search
Federated search
Digital libraries/collections
Social software and social networking
Blogs, wikis, podcasts
Libraries as publishers
Taxonomies, folksonomies
Evidence-based librarianship
Gaming in the library
Information policy
Web site usability
Needs assessment
Collaborative working Text mining
Internet resources
Communicating value
Managing e-resources
Mobile technology
Library 2.0
Open access; open source
Distance learning, e-learning
Multimedia searching
Innovative projects
Incorporating new technologies Web design
Content management
Training and teaching
The Advisory Committee will review all submissions and notification
regarding acceptance will be made this summer. If your proposal is
selected, the primary speaker will receive a free registration to the
full conference, which includes lunches and a reception. The organisers
are not responsible for speakers' travel and accommodation costs.
October is a perfect time to visit London, and the Copthorne Tara Hotel
is centrally located and reasonably priced.
We look forward to receiving your ideas and suggestions as we plan this
very important conference.
