Dear all,
We have the great pleasure in announcing that the 2010 CILIP Health
Libraries Group Conference will take place on the 19th & 20th July at
The Lowry, Salford Quays in the great city of Manchester.
The title of the conference is: Keeping information centre stage amongst
changing scenery.
We are now opening the call for abstracts and are asking for interested
parties to submit ideas for papers by Monday 30th November 2009.
Manchester
Manchester is one of the best conference cities in the UK and we have
selected The Lowry at Salford Quays to host the conference because it
boasts fantastic facilities in a lovely location. It is a short tram
journey from the city centre, meaning that shopping, dining,
accommodation, sight seeing and leisure activities are in plentiful
supply.
Manchester is also very well connected and is easily accessible from
anywhere in the UK. It is also home to the UK's 4th busiest airport
meaning that travel from abroad is straightforward.
More details on the conference and booking will be available nearer the
time.
Conference theme - Keeping information centre stage amongst changing
scenery.
2010 will be a very important year for health librarians of all sectors.
The recession may tighten budgets yet further, there will probably be a
general election shortly before the conference and that may result in a
change in government.
The conference will seek to understand how, amidst all these factors, we
can keep libraries, librarians and most importantly of all, quality
information at the centre of what we do and at the centre of our
organisations.
We would encourage you to consider whether you could give a
presentation, however long or short, that would be of interest to
delegates and/or of help to the profession.
Suggestions for topics include:
- Gaining and keeping a higher profile
- Collaboration
- Use of Information Technology
- Evidence-based librarianship
However we will be delighted to receive abstracts on topics other than
these suggestions or feel free to contact us if you would like to
discuss your proposal.
Presentation formats:
Presentations could be from anything from 10 to 30 minutes, including
questions, so if you've never presented at a conference before or if you
are an expert, there is an opportunity for you here.
