School Libraries and Resource Centers Section
& Public Libraries Section

The School Libraries and Resource Centers & Public Libraries Sections invite case studies on the theme of collaboration between the two types of libraries that are mostly to be found in communities.    

The Papers should reflect projects already in progress or completed that show how Public Libraries and School Libraries in communities can work together for the benefit of students.  Papers can be written and given in any of the official IFLA languages: English, French, German, Russian, Spanish.  However, abstracts should be submitted in English.

Proposals for Case Study Papers must include the following and must be in English:

1. Title of proposed presentation
2. Outline of the proposed presentation (no more than 300 words)
3. Name(s) of presenter(s)
4. Position or title of presenter(s)
5. Presenter(s) employer or affiliated institution
6. E-mail address
7. Telephone/fax numbers
8. Short biographical statement regarding the presenter/s

15 minutes will be allowed for a summary delivery of the paper in the Conference (followed by 5 minute discussions); the full written paper is not to be read.

Proposals should be submitted by February 8, 2012 to:

Randi Lundvall, randi.lundvall@baerum.kommune.no

• Full accepted papers must be between 3000 and 6000 words in length and are due by March 31^st 2012, so that translations can be organised and must be an original submission not published elsewhere.
