emtacl10 — emerging technologies in academic libraries
International conference on emerging technologies in academic libraries
2010
26–28 April 2010, Trondheim, Norway
http://www.emtacl.com
Call for papers
_______________________________________________________________________
Emerging technologies and evolving user behaviour change the rules of
the game for academic libraries. Emerging technologies include new ways
of using existing technologies and totally new, disruptive technologies.
Examples include:
- social networks
- (micro)blogging
- news services and aggregation
- cloud computing
- sharing and mashups
- mobile web
- location awareness
This is a new international conference for academic librarians,
information professionals, academic staff, students, library system
developers and suppliers, among others. The conference aims to provide
answers to the following questions: What can academic libraries do to
address change? How can we adapt? Which technologies can/should/must we
use/create? The conference is hosted by NTNU Library, the Library of the
Norwegian university of science and technology in Trondheim, Norway.
The programme committee invites original presentations and posters
taking one or more of the following perspectives as a point of
departure:
- Semantic web library
- New (information) literacies
- Supporting research in a changing age
- Organizational change within the library
- Analysis of user behaviour and using statistics in Library 2.0
- New services/old services in new clothes
- Best practices for the adaptive academic library
- Other relevant perspectives on emerging technologies
We invite submission of:
- Research papers presenting theoretical solutions, but with a clear
illustration on how these solutions can be applied in libraries
- Position papers presenting opinions on some aspect of practice,
or describing work that is still in progress, but sufficiently
mature to warrant attention
- Experiences and case studies specifying requirements, challenges,
or opportunities of applying emerging technologies in libraries
- Comparison with alternative or competing approaches using
conventional technologies
- Best practices for implementing emerging technologies in libraries
- Assessment of the costs and benefits of the application of emerging
technologies, e.g. time and cost of implementation and deployment,
integration with legacy IT systems, user acceptance, returns on
investment
