The co-editors have extensive experience in this world region. Professor Amanda Spink recently spent five years in the Australian LIS environment and Dr. Diljit Singh, who is based at the University of Malaya in Malaysia, has extensive experience throughout the Asian region. High quality and scholarly book chapters are sought that cover research and education studies, including policy issues, bibliometric studies, user behaviour, educational issues and other aspects related to trends in the LIS field in the Asia-Oceania region. <br /> <br /><strong>SUBMISSION INFORMATION</strong> <br />Potential contributors are invited to submit an abstract or a 1-2 page chapter proposal to the book Editors ASAP, detailing the background, motivations and structure of the proposed chapter.

The<br />Asia-Oceania Open Session at Milan focuses on the critical role being played<br />by libraries and other information organisations in Asia-Oceania in<br />preserving the richness of the past so that their peoples can create a<br />future that is linked to the past. The theme encompasses both the<br />practicalities of cultural heritage preservation work to ensure the survival<br />of the past and the efforts involved in services that focus on helping<br />individuals and groups make use of those cultural heritage resources to<br />understand the past to create a better future.<br /><br /><strong>Dedicated to the theme, 'Preserving the past - creating the future'</strong>, this<br />session therefore aims to highlight the work of libraries and other<br />information organisations in Asia-Oceania that contributes to the creation<br />of better futures by preserving the past. In keeping with the conference's<br />overall theme, 'Libraries create futures: Building on cultural heritage',<br />the suggested topics for this Session include, but are not limited to, the<br />following:<br />. Utilising the preservation of materials to develop future-oriented,<br />contextually-based information services in memory institutions<br /><br />. Understanding how heritage awareness through preserved artefacts<br />can lead to better understanding of possible future developments in<br />proactive memory institution services<br /><br />. Preserving or providing access to images or oral histories that<br />capture the memories of the participants in unique events of a community's<br />past and cultural heritage<br /><br />. Preserving significant cultural heritage resources and providing<br />unified approaches to making them accessible through the collaborative<br />efforts of libraries, archives and museums<br /><br />. Promoting the use of or creation of resources that document the<br />contributions of minority groups to the development of a community's social,<br />political, cultural or economic life.<br /><br /><strong>Submissions:</strong><br /><br />1.

The overall theme is information literacy, with special reference to needs and developments of countries in Asia and Oceania. The course will cover the basics of information literacy and information literacy training skills needed by information professionals in a variety of settings, as well as current and emerging IT applications in libraries. Classroom participation and hands-on practice will be interspersed with visits to leading libraries and information agencies in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand and home to a wide array of 'cutting-edge' information organisations.<br /><br />The course will be based primarily at the Victoria University of Wellington Library and taught by leading educators in library and information management, as well as practitioners with considerable experience in the delivery of information literacy programmes. There are also visits to major libraries and information services in the Greater Wellington region.<br /><br />While the course is purposely small, to allow one-on-one training and closely monitored IT lab work, there are limited vacancies for fee-paying students. A fee of US$2750 covers all tuition, course materials and accommodation in comfortable university housing. Airfares, visas and meals are an additional expense.<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.ifla.org/VII/s26/index.htm">http://www.ifla.org/VII/s26/index.htm </a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157322747771328428.post-18988178675505525022008-04-21T18:11:00.001+07:002008-04-21T18:14:50.518+07:00Call for papers:The 4Th Shanghai International Library Forum<strong>Please submit the abstract of your paper to the Organizing Committee of SILF 2008 prior to April 30, 2008 </strong><br />The 4Th Shanghai International Library Forum<br /> <strong>Theme: Intelligence, Innovation and Library Services</strong>Date: October 20~22, 2008 <br />Organizer: Shanghai Library/ Institute of Scientific & Technical Information of Shanghai<br /><br />The fourth Shanghai International Library Forum (SILF) will be held on October 20~22, 2008 at the Shanghai Library.<br /><br /> SILF was initiated in 2002 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Shanghai Library and is convened at a biennial basis ever since.
