Apologies for cross posting.
Registration is now open for the Satellite Conference on Serials
Preservation, organized by the IFLA 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.
The Satellite meeting 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, for anyone wishing to attend the World Library and
Information Congress: 75th IFLA General Conference and Assembly in
Milan, the Bolzano Library has arranged for all registrants to be
transported by coach to Milan, once the Satellite conference ends at
noon on Friday, August 21st.
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)
