CFP: ALCTS Poster Session for 50th conference (Washington D.C., June 20, 2007)
CFP: ALCTS Poster Session for 50th conference (Washington D.C., June 20, 2007)
Deadline: April 2, 2007
The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) seeks proposals for a poster session to be held during the 50th ALCTS Anniversary Conference, June 20 and 21, 2007, in Washington, D.C. The poster session will be held Wednesday, June 20.
The ALCTS Conference, "Interactive Futures: A National Conference on the Transformation of Library Collections & Technical Services," will engage attendees in a thought-provoking, open, and participatory exchange on the transformation of our work and our profession.
In keeping with the conference theme, poster session proposals should focus on a transformative change or an innovation in any area of library collections or technical services work for monographs, serials, or electronic resources, whether in collection development and management, cataloging, acquisitions, or preservation. Poster sessions may document a change that has been implemented, or may suggest an innovation or describe a trend likely to affect change in the philosophy or practice of our profession.
This poster session offers a unique opportunity for beginning career librarians and veteran librarians, for library support staff, and for students, to address the future in which all attendees will work in a most stimulating setting. More than 250 attendees are expected; featured conference speakers are library leaders and provocative thinkers like Susan Nutter, David Lankes, Stephen Abram and Richard Lanham.
The deadline for poster session submissions is Monday, April 2. The ALCTS conference committee will review all submissions for appropriateness of theme, for quality of content, and for quality of presentation. Applicants will be notified by May 1. Please see the ALCTS 50th Anniversary web site for more information on the conference, and for a submission form for poster session applications. If you have questions, please contact Bob Nardini (email:bnardini@couttsinfo.com or telephone: 603-340-4378).
Registration for the ALCTS 50th Anniversary Conference, "Interactive Futures: A National Conference on the Transformation of Library Collections & Technical Services," is now open. You can register through the ALCTS web site at www.ala.org/alcts by clicking the “Register” link. Registration is open to anyone interested in charting the future course of library collections and technical services.

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.
Thanks,
