Please use the header "Milan - proposal - (title of proposed paper)" in the subject line of your e-mail, as proposals are also being received for the ILDS in Hannover, so a clear distinction is needed that the proposed paper is for the Milan open session. The abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Document Delivery and Resource Sharing Section's Standing Committee at their mid-term business meeting in February 2009. Authors of successful proposals will be notified towards the end of February 2009. Full papers will be due by 15 May 2009. Papers should be no longer than 20 pages and 15-20 minutes will be allowed for a summary delivery of the paper during the Section's open programme in Milan. Please note that the expenses of attending the Milan conference (including travel, expenses and conference fee) will be the responsibility of the author(s)/presenter(s) of accepted papers, and at least one of the presenters/authors must be present for the programme. |
