CFP: IFLA Health and Biosciences Libraries Section & Library Services to People with Special Needs Section Theme: Beyond barriers to accessing health information
URL: http://conference.ifla.org/ifla77/calls-for-papers/beyond-barriers-to-accessing-health-information
Colleagues from around the world are invited to submit an abstract for consideration for the Open Session jointly sponsored by the Health and Biosciences Libraries (HBL) and the Library Services to People with Special Needs (LSN) Sections
Aim and Scope of the Session
It is hoped that papers will cover a wide range of areas of overcoming barriers ? for example:
How have mental and physical challenges been overcome? e.g. how do you promote mental health information to people with disabilities. How is health information delivered to those with poor literacy skills (literacy skills include basic literacy skills, health literacy, IT literacy etc.), and to the socially excluded?
How is health information provided in cultures that do not endorse ?open? access to information such as publicly available brochures? What is the role of public libraries to support health information initiatives?
How can libraries work in partnership with others to promote health information?
It is anticipated that presentations be 20 minutes with time for questions at the end of the session.
Important dates
February 1st 2011: Deadline for submission of abstract
March 1st 2011: Notification of acceptance/rejection
May 1st 2011: Deadline for submission of text
