IFLA Science & Technology Libraries Section - Call for PapersThe World Library and Information Congress: 74th IFLA General Conference
and Council will be held in Qu้bec,/ /Canada,/ /10-15 August 2008. The
theme for the Conference is: "Libraries without borders: Navigating
towards global understanding". http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm .
The Science and Technology Libraries Section is planning a two-hour
program in Qu้bec and we invite you to submit an abstract for
presentation. The theme for our meeting is *"Science across Libraries:
**provision of science and technology information resources and services
in diverse settings"*.
Increasingly, information resources and services related to science and
technology are in demand by users beyond traditional contexts and with
varying levels of expertise and knowledge. A variety of libraries and
other information professionals are called upon to design innovative
approaches to meeting this demand. Complicating such efforts, however,
are issues related to science and technology literacy in the general
public, collection development and access issues, and other provision
and source related challenges. Moreover, trends in science and
technology, particularly those of global importance (such as global
warming, the ecological impact of globalization, or information
technology issues in developing countries) can increase demand of
certain resources and challenge the expertise of traditional librarians.
In addition to a keynote speaker, we are seeking three excellent papers
that address the issues surrounding and affecting the provision of
science and technology information resources and services in diverse
settings. Of particular interest are papers that represent perspectives
that will have relevance to an international audience.
Three papers will be selected for presentation. Proposals for papers must be submitted by *14 January 2008*. The proposal should include a title, a 200-400 word
abstract and relevant biographical information of author(s) / presenter(s). Successful proposals will be identified by *14 February 2008* and presenters will be notified.
The full paper is due by *1 May 2008*. We hope that Simultaneous Interpretation will be available for this session, but we strongly recommend that the presentation
slides should be in English, even if the presentation is delivered in one of the other official languages.

Call for Papers – IFLA Government Information and Official Publications Section (GIOPS)
The Government Information and Official Publications Section invites submissions for its programme for the 74th International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Library and Information Congress 10-14 August 2008 to be held in Qu้bec, Canada ( http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm). In keeping with the IFLA conference theme, "Libraries without borders: Navigating towards global understanding", the GIOPS sub-theme is "Globalization of government information: creating digital archives for increased access".
Government, non-governmental and intergovernmental knowledge resources play an important role in our global society. Increasingly these resources are either born digital or are being digitized for enhanced access by people everywhere. Governments at many levels, institutions, non-governmental and international organizations, and individuals are collaborating locally, nationally, regionally and internationally to make these resources available digitally and to ensure that they are properly preserved and archived for sustained use by future generations.
Submissions are invited which discuss collaborative digitization projects that make available historical or current official and/or government resources. Topics covered might include the project’s development, content and content management, use of and adherence to digitization standards and benefits to a globalizing world. Submissions of a more theoretical approach will also be considered.
Four papers will be selected for presentation. Proposals for papers must be submitted by 15 January 2008 to Alice Ramohlola ( Alice.Ramohlola@wits.ac.za) with copies to Irja Peltonen (Irja.Peltonen@vm.fi), Jackie Druery, (drueryj@queensu.ca) and Marcy Allen, (mallen@psu.edu). The proposal should include a title, 200-400 word abstract and relevant biographical information of author(s)/presenter(s). Successful proposals will be identified by 15 February 2008 and presenters notified. The full paper is due by 15 April 2008. Please note that all fees, including registration for the conference, travel, accommodation, etc. are the responsibility of the author(s) of accepted papers. For additional information, please contact any of the above.
