SLA CONTRIBUTED PAPERS SESSION CALL FOR PAPERS
Biomedical and Life Sciences Division, Special Libraries Association
Conference June 4-9, 2005 in Toronto, ON, Canada
  
The SLA Biomedical and Life Sciences Division invites submissions for its
annual Contributed Papers Session at the Toronto Conference in June 2005.

 
SESSION THEME:
Digitization Projects in the Biomedical and Life Sciences

 
If you haven't already undertaken a digitization project, you are probably
at least considering how to translate some of your physical collections to a
web accessible format. We want to hear from members who have undertaken
innovative digitization projects. Tell us about your final product: the
challenges and pitfalls; the technology and products employed; your metadata
standards; your decision-making challenges; and your assessment of the
process. We would also be interested in hearing from members who have
launched institutional repositories or other open access sites.

 
ABSTRACT:
A 200-500 word abstract should accurately convey the subject of the paper,
its scope, conclusions, and relevance to the program theme. Attention will
be paid to evidence of scholarship and methodology.

 
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: September 15, 2004.

 
PAPERS:
If chosen, acceptance of your paper reflects a commitment on your part
to: 1) submit the complete text of your paper to the program convener by
March 31, 2005; 2) give a presentation of your paper for no longer
than 20 minutes at the SLA annual conference, June 4-9, 2005 in Toronto, ON,
Canada; 3) where appropriate and feasible, offer a brief
demonstration or representation of your project during your presentation.
