CFP: THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE BOOK
CFP: THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE BOOK
The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, USA
25-27 October 2008
http://www.Book-Conference.com
In the context of today's rapid developments in information technologies, the book is indeed an old medium of expression. Do the new media (the internet, multimedia texts and new delivery formats) represent a threat or an opportunity? What is the book's future as a creature of and conduit for human creativity?
This Conference will address the provocative suggestion that, rather than being eclipsed by the new media, the book will thrive as a cultural and commercial artifact. More than this, the information architecture of the book, embodying as it does thousands of years' experience with recorded knowledge, may well prove critical to the success of the new media.
As well as impressive line-up of international main speakers, the Conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. We would particularly like to invite you to respond to the Conference Call-for-Papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed International Journal of the Book. If you are unable to attend the Conference in person,
virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic Journal, as well as access to the electronic version of the Conference proceedings.
Proposals are reviewed within four weeks of submission. Full details of the Conference, including an online proposal submission form, are to be found at the Conference website - http://www.Book-Conference.com
We look forward to receiving your proposals and hope you will be able to join us
in Washington, DC in October.
Yours Sincerely,

What’s the Usage? How Patrons Make Use of Public Domain Digital Books
Now that thousands (millions?) of books have been digitized by Google Books Library Project how are they being used? What students in what area of studies use digital books? What is public usage of out-of-copyright digital books? Are third party university students writing theses on American 19th Century Economic Policies due to access to Harvard University’s public domain digital book collection? Are we advancing knowledge, sparking new scholarship, promoting learning and driving the pace of innovation now that hitherto inaccessible information for educational, research and general public use is now accessible?
Please come to listen to a panel of librarians who have partnered with the Google Book Library Project in a discussion on usage of digitized book collections.
We all have been reading and watching as librarians partner with Google to digitize collections. Please email me below if you are willing to share information on usage of this ever growing digital resource.
