                        CALL FOR PAPERS

The IFLA Round Table on Women's Issues is inviting speakers for a program
during the 63rd IFLA Conference to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, 31
August - 5 September 1997.

The theme of the conference is Libraries and Information for Human
Development, with our subtheme Women Advancing for the Future through
Life-Long Learning.  We would like to have broad discussions on this theme
-- with positive suggestions on how to improve the situation that affects
women's development in the twenty-first century.

The papers should follow the RTWI's objectives regarding the status of
women and dealing with women's information needs and information services.

The time schedule is as follows:  31 December 1996, Deadline for the
receipt of proposals or abstracts; 15 February 1997, Letter of acceptance
sent to authors; 40 April 1997, the final text to be received both by RTWI
and the IFLA HQs.

We will be happy to give you further information both on the theme and the
technical requirements for a paper.

Send your proposal, including a 200 word abstract, in English to either
person listed below by 31 December 1996.  You may use air mail, fax or
email.  Please make sure your mailing address, fax number, telephone
number and email address appear as part of your proposal.

Welcome to join in working on enhancing women's information worldwide!
