6. E-learning for marketing and management in Libraries
Sponsors: IFLA Management and Marketing Section and IFLA Education and Training Section, Université de Genève, Ecole nationale supérieure des sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques (ENSSIB), Lyon (France), Haute École de gestion, Département Information et Documentation (Genève), École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l'information (Université de Montréal, Québec, Canada)
Libraries were among the first to pioneer uses of digital tools and online services. They often found themselves needing to develop user-training programs for these new online services thereby assuming an active role in information literacy campaigns. As resource centers, libraries need to coordinate their user education with that of other training organizations. It would therefore be inappropriate for library training programs not to employ the same tools as those used by other training organizations, especially for e-learning in domains where these tools are heavily employed such as management and marketing.
The objective of this pre-conference session is to share e-learning experiences in these discipline areas.
While the following is not a comprehensive list, papers could address:
* Programs of courses
* E-training
* Student evaluations
* Initial/ongoing training consistency
* Professional know-how/digital assistance (decision aid tools, project management tools)
* Platform evaluation
* Cooperation among institutions
* Synchronous/asynchronous methodologies etc…
The many facets of project planning and execution could be addressed. These include, for instance, pedagogical design, communication with students, course authoring, information architecture, budget, qualifications, evaluations, etc. However, papers must refer to concrete implementations, not simply theoretical or planned projects.
Schedule:
The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2003.
Format: The papers should be sent in Word or PDF format. The first page should contain the title of the paper, the name of the authors, their affiliations and contact details. An abstract no longer than 400 words should also be provided.
Authors will be notified by May 25, 2003.
Program will be finalized by May 31, 2003.
Audience: (50 attendees)
Professors, researchers and directors from schools of Library and Information Science worldwide. Practitioners interested in the growing importance of marketing and management issues in the management of libraries and other information services.
Languages: English and French. Simultaneous translation will be provided.
Location: Geneva, Université de Genève - Unimail
