15-21 August 2015, Cape Town, South Africa
Theme:
Networks of Government Libraries – providers of access to Information
The Government Libraries Section invites proposals for papers to be presented at a two-hour programme in the next IFLA General Conference to be held on August 2015 in Cape Town, South Africa.
This year’s session theme is "Networks of Government Libraries – providers of access to Information".
The theme was chosen because the session aims to address the ways that government agencies and libraries are collaborating in the ongoing revision of information management procedures and services, in a context where government libraries are facing a transition period.
We welcome proposals from individuals and organizations interested in libraries and the information community within government structures, where collaborative experiences, methods and projects from government ministries, departments or at regional level can be shared.
Please email your proposals before 27 February 2015 to:
Guillermo García-Capcha
E-mail: ifla.governmentlibraries@gmail.com
The proposals will be evaluated and notification of acceptance/rejection will be sent by 9 March 2015
The presenters selected for the programme at the Cape Town conference will be asked then to submit a formal paper (for inclusion on the IFLA conference website and the Sections' websites) no later than 29 May 2015.
All papers that are presented at the WLIC 2015 will be made available online via the IFLA Library under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. Authors of accepted papers must complete the IFLA Author Form.
Final papers can be submitted in any of the IFLA working languages. If the paper is written in other official IFLA language than English, an accompanying translation in English of the abstract must be attached.
Simultaneous Interpretation will be provided during the session. Presentations can be in any of IFLA working languages.
For more information, please contact us via ifla.governmentlibraries@gmail.com
All proposals must be in before 27 February 2015.
