Program Theme: Preservation Advocacy and Education

url: http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/call-2006-cpdwl-e.htm

The need to advocate for preservation education has never 
been greater as librarians are faced with an ever-growing 
list of responsibilities. Cultural heritage collections are 
growing exponentially in many formats, analog as well as 
digital. In this context, we are compelled to advance 
preservation awareness to ever-expanding diverse audiences. 
These audiences include but are not limited to 
administrators, collectors, librarians, computer scientists 
and engineers, politicians, architects, and the general 
public--including children. We are also challenged to 
maintain preservation standards and disaster plans, in 
consultation with experts. To do this we must address issues 
of changing attitudes, trends, priorities, financial needs, 
and technological developments. Finally, we must 
continually “migrate and reformat” ourselves in order to stay 
abreast of evolving audiences and issues. This may require 
that we develop innovations in the ways in which we advocate 
and educate, using, among other things, distance learning, 
publications, exhibitions, workshops, formal degree programs, 
and professional conferences (web-and paper-based).

The IFLA Continuing Professional Development and Workplace 
Learning, and Preservation and Conservation Sections, 
together with the Preservation and Conservation Core Activity 
are planning a joint program covering these topics for the 
Seoul conference. The program will comprise both papers and 
demonstrations of tools developed for education in the 
preservation field.

We are issuing a call for papers. We are specially looking 
for case studies or practical presentations. We are seeking 
contributions for the two following programs:
-	a two-hour session with speakers presenting papers 
that describe studies that have defined the extent and nature 
of preservation problems, and demonstrations of campaigns 
used to raise awareness and educate stakeholders ;
-	a two-hour hands-on session with speakers presenting 
best practices in training library staff in basic 
preservation principles and techniques, and demonstrations of 
training methods, tools, and courses.

If interested, please send a one-page abstract and 
information on the author by 15 December 2005 to Sarah 
Toulouse for the PAC Section (sarah.toulouse@xxxxxxxxxxxx), 
Susan Schnuer for CPDWL Section (schnuer@xxxxxxxx), and Marie-
Thérèse Varlamoff for PAC Core activity (marie-
therese.varalmoff@xxxxxx) .
The abstracts will be reviewed by members of both standing 
committees and PAC Core activity. Successful applicants will 
be notified by mid-February 2006. Full papers will be due on 
1 May 2006, to allow time for review of papers and 
translations. Papers should not be longer than 20 pages. A 
maximum of 20 minutes will be allowed for a presentation or 
summary of the paper during the Sections program in the 
Conference.
All the abstracts must be in English. Papers can be presented 
during the Conference in any IFLA working language (English, 
French, German, Russian, Spanish), but the hands-on 
presentations should be in English only.
Information on the author should include name, contact 
details, affiliations (home institution, professional 
memberships, etc) and a brief statement of experience and 
expertise related to the themes of this conference program.

Please note that the expenses of attending the Seoul 
conference will be the responsibility of the author
(s)/presenter(s) of accepted papers.
