Session theme:
Serials in the 21st century: new concepts, new challenges
The IFLA Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section (SOCRS) invites librarians and other interested parties to submit proposals for papers for the 2-hour open session in Milan.
Electronic formats have altered traditional ways of acquiring, cataloging and managing library materials. The lines are blurring between e-books, e-journals, and article databases. The division of functions in Acquisitions, Cataloging and Collection Development, as well as Public Services, which have until now been based on the types of material (continuing resources vs. monographs), are becoming less clear. Almost all e-resources have a seriality aspect. Are e-books the new continuing resource?
If the work of managing and servicing e-resources is being done in serials units (whether Acquisitions or Cataloging), then who handles ?new? serials such as e-books and where do they fit in? Should they be included in ERMs? What kind of training and communication is needed for efficient work with e-resources? How do libraries adapt to this paradigm shift?
We especially invite papers that address the following topics:
*Organizational models for work with e-resources. What works and what doesn?t?
*E-books from selection to access: some new approaches
*New challenges as new opportunities
Please send a detailed abstract in English (1 page or at least 300 words) of the proposed paper (which must not have been published elsewhere) and relevant biographical information of author(s)/presenter(s) by February 15th 2009 via e-mail to: Eva-Lisa Holm Granath, Secretary of SOCRS, e-mail: [email protected]
The abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section´s Standing Committee. Successful proposals will be identified by March 8th 2009 Full papers will be due by May 1st 2009 to allow time for review of papers and preparation of translations. Papers should be no longer than 10-20 pages. 10-15 minutes will be allowed for a summary delivery of the paper during the Section's open session in Milan. We aim for a broader range coverage with slightly shorter presentations.
Please note that the expenses of attending the Milan conference will be the responsibility of the author(s)/presenter(s) of accepted papers, and at least one of the authors/presenters must be present for the program.
