Call for Submissions DEADLINE EXTENDED to Feb 5, 2016 37th Annual IATUL Conference, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada 5 - 9 June 2016 The IATUL 2016 Programme Committee invites proposals for papers and posters, which should reflect the conference theme: Library Leadership in a Sea of Change Libraries are developing services for new emerging trends such as data management and curation, scholarly communication/publishing, copyright, open access, text and data mining (TDM) and digital initiatives. Libraries are also reshaping spaces to better respond to the ever changing and growing needs of end user communities. We see more and more collaboration between different units in order to create new and better learning environments where different professionals are joining forces to use their skills and knowledge to support their different communities. This year's theme: Library Leadership in a Sea of Change reflects not only our host Institutions' locale by the ocean, but also provides the opportunity for you to share your cutting edge experiences and knowledge during this time of continuing change in the world of libraries. The programme will be organized around the following five sub-themes: * Collaboration * Preparing the workforce, skills development * Changing role of libraries in scholarly communication and assessment * Physical library; Learning spaces * Data management/Science Call for papers and posters deadline: February 5, 2016 Proposals must be submitted online and must contain: * Title of the paper * Author(s) of the paper * Paper abstract (2,000 characters incl. spaces maximum) * Speaker's name, professional affiliation, postal address, and email address * Biographical note on the speaker (500 characters incl. spaces maximum) * Proposed papers must be original and not have been published elsewhere * Proposed papers must be written in English For more information please visit the conference website: http://www.dal.ca/sites/iatul/submissions.html [cid:0__=0ABBF4A1DF8008A38f9e8a93df93869091@local] Gwendolyn Ebbett Chair, IATUL Conference Committee Leddy Library University of Windsor * 401 Sunset Ave. * Windsor ON Canada * N9B 3P4 tel: (519) 253-3000, ext. 3161 fax: (519) 971-3638 email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
