CALL FOR PAPERS
IFLA-Section on Audiovisual and Multimedia and
Section on Education and Training
Berlin Conference Open Forums
***********************************************

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
(IFLA) will be meeting in Berlin, Germany, August 1st - 9th, 2003.  As
part of the conference, the Section on Audiovisual and Multimedia and
The
Section on Education and Training are planning coordinated Open Forums
entitled:

"Audiovisual and Multimedia as part of the Curricula in Library Schools
and Continuing Education - Visions and Realities."

The two sections invite proposals on the diversity of study programmes
and
contents, learning labs, examination contents, and infrastructure to
gain
competencies in audiovisual and multimedia applications for libraries.
Proposals are also invited that examine how audiovisual and multimedia
are
included in the content of curricula in library education and training
programs to educate current and future librarians in the methods and
techniques of developing and utilizing audiovisual and multimedia in
their
professional activities in libraries.  We plan to request that IFLA
Headquarters schedule our coordinated open forums sequentially.

Included in the scope of interest is the use of audiovisual and
multimedia
as teaching tools in schools of library and information studies as well
as
courses involving training in the use of audiovisual and multimedia in
the
library.  Curricular issues related to teaching bibliographic control
(description, access modalities etc.) of audiovisual and multimedia
materials may also be considered within scope.

If you are interested in presenting a paper on a topic related to this
call, please send your proposal (title and brief synopsis with your
name,
affiliation and address, preferred in a Word e-mail attachment, but fax
or
mail copies will be accepted) by December 20, 2002 to:

SPONSOR: IFLA Section on Reading

GOAL OF PROGRAMME: To bring together experts from several countries and

reading has declined or changed in particular groups in the population;
how the Internet has been used to encourage reading; how traditional
publishing has been affected by the availability of electronic
materials.

FORMAT OF PAPERS: The intention is to include papers and case studies
that provide guidance on how librarians can adjust their services and
collections to take advantage of changing patterns in reading. Papers
that focus on the underlying concepts and philosophy will be preferred
to those that are purely descriptive. The Section wants papers from
several different geographical areas.
