December. The satellite conference will start with a reception and
initial activity on Tuesday, August 18. On Wednesday, August 19 and
Thursday August 20, the sessions will run all day. There may be a tour
organised during the day on Tuesday, August 18.
Formato & Estructura
The conference will be structured to maximise opportunities for
interaction and learning with a focus on both expanding knowledge and
understanding and enhancing capabilities in this key area of
professional practice. Active sharing of ideas and knowledge will be
encouraged and presenters are encouraged to think about the most
effective ways of delivering their presentations. The conference will
be arranged to include a mix of plenary sessions (with time allowed for
discussion and comment on each paper), smaller scale interactive
presentations (where presenters make their presentation to a small
group and then engage in participatory/interactive work with that
group), breakout sessions/workshops and poster presentations. To enable
information exchange and networking the smaller scale interactive
presentation sessions may be repeated multiple times and the poster
sessions may be staffed at several times throughout the conference.
Actas
All key-note presentations and a selection of other significant
presentations at the conference will be peer reviewed and published by
K.G. Saur as part of the IFLA ‘greenback’ publication

Project Manager, Skillset, UK) and Graham Walton (Service Development

scholarship demonstrated, validity of the results of any empirical
