CFP “The Library in the Life of the Reader": A Special Issue of Library Quarterly
CFP: “The Library in the Life of the Reader": A Special Issue of Library Quarterly
Call for Papers Deadline: March 1, 2005
URL For Call for Papers: http://mingo.info-science.uiowa.edu/~pawley/CFPLQ04.html
The study of historical and cultural aspects of readers and reading is a new but fast-growing area that overlaps with the history of the book and of print culture, and draws on the theories and methodologies of history, literary criticism, cultural studies, and sociology. But reading researchers have tended to overlook libraries as subject for study, thereby missing an important context in which reading commonly takes place. We are interested in research that explores the ways in which contemporary and historically situated groups and individuals encounter public, academic, school, special, private and other types of libraries. We anticipate examples of reader groups to be distinguished by their occupancy of a particular time period (including the present) as well as social, cultural and geographic place. They might include, for example, racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, religious organizations, children, rural residents, interest group members or the GLBT community.
Submissions should conform to style conventions found in The Library Quarterly (see http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/LQ/instruct.html), not exceed 6,000 words (excluding endnotes), and be accompanied by a 100-word abstract. We encourage mailed submissions as an attachment in Word or pdf format.

CFP: ALA Midwinter Automated Acquisitions and In-Process Control Discussion Group
Sunday January 16, 2005 (9:30-11:00am)
Boston, Mass
It's time to start thinking ahead to ALA Midwinter in Boston. We are starting to plan for the Automated Acquisitions and In-process Control Discussion Group Meeting, which will be at the usual time on Sunday morning, January 16th from 9:30 to 11 am. Venue to be announced later.
At the annual meeting we talked about uses for vendor supplied in-process control records. Previous sessions have been devoted to various aspects of standards for acquisitions records, data migration issues, ONIX, and any number of other things. What are the issues you are wanting to discuss this winter?
I would prefer you to respond to the list so that we have the opportunity for a dialogue on the suggestions, but you may certainly respond directly to me if you wish to do so.
Kind regards,
Katharine Treptow Farrell,

CFP: 2005 SHARP (Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing)
Conference Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Conference Date: July 14-17, 2005
Deadline: November 30, 2004
Full Call for Papers: http://www.dal.ca/~sharp05/call.html
For details of the conference see www.dal.ca/SHARP2005
Organization Web site: http://sharpweb.org/
SHARP is the leading international scholarly association for historians of print culture, consisting of more than 1,200 book historians world-wide. Its focus is on "the creation, dissemination, and reception of script and print, including newspapers, periodicals and ephemera." Members work in a wide variety of different disciplines both inside and outside the academy. The annual conferences, which alternate between North America and Europe, are noted for their stimulating discussions, vibrant keynote addresses, and memorable activities.
The Halifax conference will be open to both individual papers, combined into sessions by the program committee, and to complete sessions organized and proposed by members. As is the SHARP custom, each paper will be twenty minutes in length, followed by discussion, and each session will be one hour and a half in duration.
Presenters must be members of SHARP (at least one author of each co-authored paper proposal must be a member) or must join SHARP at the time of submission of proposals. Further details about SHARP and membership can be found at the web address shown below. Papers on any aspect of book history and print culture may be proposed.
The conference theme "Navigating Texts and Contexts" suggests that examinationof the varieties of the relationship between texts and contexts would be welcome. In addition, because Halifax is located at one point of what a Canadian historian described as "The North Atlantic Triangle" (Britain, France and North America), papers on aspects of the book trade in that region would be appropriate.
SHARP makes available a small number of travel grants to graduate students and to independent scholars. If you wish to be considered for such a grant, please state this when submitting your proposal, along with a rationale for the request.

See above links for more information.
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).
