CFP: emtacl12 - emerging technologies in academic libraries 2012
International conference on emerging technologies in academic libraries 2012
1-3 October 2012, Trondheim, Norway
URL: http://www.emtacl.com
Emerging technologies and evolving user behaviour keeps changing the rules of the game for academic libraries. Emerging technologies include new ways of using existing technologies and totally new, disruptive technologies. Examples include:
- Semantic web / linked open data
- Social media
- Augmented reality
- Mobile technologies
- Visualisation
emtacl12 is an international conference for academic librarians, information professionals, academic staff, students, library system developers and suppliers, among others. The aim is to provide answers to the following questions: What can academic libraries do to address change? How can we adapt? Which technologies can/should/must we use/create? The conference is hosted by NTNU University Library, the Library of the Norwegian university of science and technology in Trondheim, Norway.
The programme committee invites original presentations and posters taking one or more of the following perspectives as a point of departure:
- Linked open data and other semantic web applications in the library
- New literacies
- Supporting research
- Organizational change within the library
- Analysis of user behaviour and use of statistics
- New services/old services in new clothes
- Other relevant perspectives on emerging technologies
We invite submission of abstracts or posters presenting:
- Theoretical solutions, but with a clear illustration on how these solutions can be applied in libraries
- Opinions on some aspect of practice, or descriptions of work that is still in progress, but sufficiently mature to warrant attention
- Experiences and case studies specifying requirements, challenges, or opportunities of applying emerging technologies in libraries
- Comparisons with alternative or competing approaches using conventional technologies
- Best practices for implementing emerging technologies in libraries
- Assessments of cost and benefits from the application of emerging technologies, e.g. time and cost of implementation and deployment, integration with legacy IT systems, user acceptance, returns on investment
We will also open for live demos of emerging technologies, and invite submission of abstracts or videos describing such demos.
