Call for papers--Conference on advances in paper conservation research

Call for papers--Conference on advances in paper conservation research

Advances in Paper Conservation Research
British Library Conference Centre
London
23-24 March 2009

We welcome proposals for presentations.

Recent years have seen an explosion of research and new insights into the material science of paper and paper-based collections. Understanding of the raw materials, their deterioration and conservation strategies have developed--alongside new strategies for dealing with the enormous legacy of paper.

This conference will bring together key workers in the field from major collections such as the British Library and the Library of Congress to academic researchers and commercial organisations. It is intended to publish the proceedings electronically on the British Library website.

We invite offers of potential contributions to the conference. Abstracts should be received by 22 December 2008 and finished papers received by 28 February 2009.

Conservation and care for the collections are undergoing major change at the British Library. A new state of the art Centre for Conservation and innovative robotic storage in a reduced oxygen environment were recently completed. These major advances in the care for the physical collections are competing with major challenges to deal with digital collections. It is an exciting time for the future of care and conservation in Libraries and Archives.

Call for papers
The value and volume of digital information increases year on year. Our scientific, cultural, and social heritage becomes more digital and the need to ensure that it can be effectively preserved becomes more urgent. This problem is not confined within national boundaries and is not specific to any discipline. We must work together to solve the challenges posed by this historic change. Whilst easily envisaged, collaborative working across national boundaries requires commitment, planning and co-ordination, and the theme of this year’s conference is designed to focus minds on how that can be achieved.

There are, in addition, further areas where the community needs to consider the value of a joined up approach. Stronger links can be forged between libraries and archives or between those practising scientific data curation and those involved with preserving arts and humanities information or learning materials. We need to strengthen the ties between theory and practice in digital preservation. It should be possible to show that preservation practice is underpinned by theory and can deliver benefits to stakeholder communities.

iPRES is a series of international conferences that seeks to address issues relating to digital preservation by bringing together experts and practitioners across the spectrum of digital preservation disciplines. We invite you to submit papers and presentations that present substantial new results, contribute to the conceptual foundations of digital preservation, or show novel applications of existing work. Empirical evidence demonstrating what works – and what doesn’t – is also welcome.

CFP: ‘EVIDENCE OF READING, READING THE EVIDENCE'

CFP: ‘EVIDENCE OF READING, READING THE EVIDENCE'

A major international conference to be held at the Institute of English Studies , University of London

21-23 July 2008
Deadline: January 31, 2008

URL: http://ies.sas.ac.uk/events/conferences/2008/RED/index.htm

Organised by the Open University and the Institute of English Studies

Keynote speakers: Kate Flint, Jonathan Rose, David Vincent

Studies centred on the history of reading have proliferated in the last twenty years. They have sprung from several different disciplines, encompassed different periods and geographical locations and chosen divergent methodologies, but their common quest has been to recover and understand the traces of a practice which is central to our understanding of human history, yet notoriously elusive.

One such approach is ‘The Reading Experience Database 1450-1945' (RED), a project run by the Open University and the University of London . While RED is already proving its worth as a digital resource, its methodological parameters are necessarily limited and its vision therefore partial. What is needed in order for the study of the history of reading to progress beyond the boundaries of specific institutions, disciplines, methodologies, geographical locations and time periods is a forum in which as many diverse approaches as possible are brought into energetic debate.

This major 3-day conference, the first of its type, seeks to provide such a forum. We invite 20-minute papers from international students and scholars of any discipline - both within and outside the Humanities – who are interested in the history and practice of reading in any period or geographical location. Topics may include, but are by no means limited to:

-Theories of reading
-Issues of literacy
-National and transnational histories
-Reading and readers in fiction
-Reading communities
-Quantitative versus qualitative methodologies
-Genre reading
-Digital resources and their development
-Visual representations of reading
-Reading across disciplines/languages
-Using historical data in contemporary research fields
-The sociology, psychology and neurology of reading experiences
-Evidence of reading from private audio recordings and blogs
-Finding, compiling, interpreting and preserving the evidence of reading

Paper titles, abstracts of no more than 300 words and short biographies should be sent electronically by 31 January 2008 to all three organisers: Dr Shaf Towheed (S.S.Towheed@open.ac.uk); Dr Rosalind Crone (r.h.crone@open.ac.uk); Dr Katie Halsey (Katie.Halsey@sas.ac.uk).

CFP: 2007 Online Information Conference (London)

CFP: 2007 Online Information Conference (London)

2007 Call for Speakers:

I would like to invite you to submit a speaking proposal for the 2007 Online
Information Conference taking place from 4-6 December in the Olympia
Conference Centre, London.

2007 is already proving to be a year of momentous change in the Online world
as Web 2.0 moves into the mass market. It is increasing its hold on
business, academia and government and extending its reach in our homes,
mobile lives and relationships in ways that even a couple of years ago would
have been unthinkable.

This year's conference will help business, academia and government to take
up the challenge of this new Online world, blending traditional and new
services to give a new mix for a new era. And YOU can be a part of it.

Do you have a story to tell?

* Have you been involved in a leading-edge web 2.0 project which has made an impact?
* Has your university changed its practices to embrace new ways of teaching?
* Has your library been able to use some of the new tools to involve a wider community?
* Has traditional "search" had its day in your organisation, replaced by "socially mediated retrieval"?
* Has your organisation evolved new ethics and behaviours to cope with the change?
* Have you found the winning business model?

Whatever your results, why not share your story with others?

Whether you work in big business, small business, academia or the public
sector, good ideas are invariably transferable and we need to hear them.
The Online world is waiting to learn from the pioneers who have made it
work. This is your chance to be seen as one of the leaders - with your
story reaching a global audience from over 43 countries.

I look forward to receiving your proposal.
