The Ninth International Conference on Music Information Retrieval will take place September 14-18, 2008 (Sunday through Thursday), in Philadelphia, USA. Since its inception in 2000, ISMIR has rapidly become the premier venue for the multidisciplinary field of accessing, analyzing, and managing large collections and archives of music information. The expansion of the music information retrieval (MIR) community reflects the enormous challenges and opportunities presented by the recent and tremendous growth in available music and music-related data. ISMIR provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between representatives of academia, industry, entertainment, and education, including researchers, developers, educators, librarians, students, and professional users, who contribute to this broadly interdisciplinary domain. Alongside presentations of original theoretical research and practical work, ISMIR provides introductory and in-depth tutorials, and a venue for the showcase of current MIR-related products and systems.

Call for Participation: Digital Library Technologies Interest Group (DLTIG) at ALA Midwinter 2008

The Digital Library Technologies Interest Group (DLTIG) will meet in Philadelphia on Sunday, January 13, 2008 from 10:30AM to 1:00 PM. The meeting will provide discussion on the upcoming DLTIG annual meeting program in Anaheim, CA titled Institutional Repositories, Mass Digitization, and Preservation; a regular business meeting; and a Share Online Stuff (SOS) open forum for participants to demonstrate innovative projects and programs.

The SOS part of the meeting, will provide an open forum for participants to share short demonstrations (5/10 minutes) of innovative digital library projects and programs with attendees. In addition to sharing new digital initiatives, it is hoped this will spark discussion on program ideas for 2009 ALA annual conference in Chicago.

While an open forum, I’m asking LITA members who want to present at the DLTIG meeting in to send to me by email descriptions and titles of demonstrations. I would like to get a feel of the number of you who are willing to share the merits of your library staff’s digital services with other ALA members.
