The Program and Poster Committees of the CHLA/ABSC Conference 2005 invite you to submit contributed papers or posters for the annual meeting in Toronto, Ontario, May 30-June 3, 2005. Papers may describe innovative programs/practices or new research findings and should relate to the overall conference theme - “The World Around the Corner”

Call for Contributed Papers
Like the advent of the World Wide Web, Google has profoundly changed the way libraries and their patrons approach information. For many in health care, Google and PubMed are not only their tools of choice, but often their only tools. The rise of these ubiquitous, sometimes powerful, and exceedingly simple services has touched every area of library operations from reference source selection, instruction, and interface development. How have and should libraries respond to the current challenges and opportunities that PubMed and Google afford? And how do we plan to out survive and outshine both?

Papers can focus on the following tracks:
* Teaching
* Technology - using Technology strategically
* Outreach/Advocacy - Extension
* Research
* Biomedical Publishing
* Evidence-Based Health Care

For more information, please contact Program Co-Chairs: Tamsin Adams-Webber (thomasin.adams-webber@sickkids.ca) or Rea Devakos (rea.devakos@utoronto.ca)

Call for Posters
Poster sessions comprise visual presentations of information about research or other projects. They offer conference delegates a less formal alternative to contributed papers and plenary sessions, as well as an opportunity to interact directly with those responsible for the presentations.

Send your submission to Poster Chair Doreen Millman-Wilson (millman-wilson.doreen@torontorehab.on.ca).
