Conferences & Meetings 9/6/12

Conferences, meetings & webinars from UKSG, ALCTS, Library 2.012, Amigos, and the University of Maryland and CNI

 UKSG One-Day Conference: London | UKSG

Users now cast their ‘discovery net’ beyond the conventional notions of a library collection, and the wider digital transition is causing all parties to reassess how they acquire and provide content.  How are libraries, publishers and intermediaries meeting the challenge?  How will these changes contribute to an improved researcher/student experience?

Don’t miss UKSG’s one-day conference which will help inform approaches and suggest ways forward. This event, chaired by Ken Chad, will look at how different parties in the scholarly information chain are addressing changing concepts of the collection. Librarians will be able to discuss how issues such as Patron Driven Acquisitions (PDA) impacts collection development and publishers will learn how changing demands are affecting the way readers and librarians are interacting with content.

Speakers include:

  • Jill Taylor-Roe, Newcastle University Library: The library-facilitated collection
  • Frans van Ette, Swets: The social collection
  • Robert Faber, Oxford University Press: Adding value
  • Martin Marlow, Maverick Publishing Specialists: The portable, personal collection
  • Richard Parsons, Dundee University Library: The consortial collection

The event will include a panel discussion. The programme allows plenty of time for networking and will close with a drinks reception.

Call for Papers

At the same time, individuals manage and “self-archive” content for future use by themselves and their families. Personal Digital Archiving 2013 invites proposals on the full range of topics relevant to personal digital archiving.  Presentations might address materials and format challenges including family archives of photographs and home movies, personal health and financial data, scrapbooking, social network posts, genealogy, blogs, email and other correspondence…
