Dear all,
We are just over 6 weeks away from the deadline to submit abstracts for
presentations at the 2010 CILIP Health Libraries Group conference. You
may remember that in August we announced that the conference will be
held on the 19th & 20th July at The Lowry at Salford Quays, near
Manchester, and that the conference title would be "Keeping information
centre stage amongst changing scenery."
We would like to thank everyone who has sent in abstracts for
consideration, but would also like to remind others that there is still
time to make an application. Please make sure your submission reaches us
by Monday 30th November 2009.
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.
