CILIP CATALOGUING & INDEXING GROUP ANNUAL CONFERENCE EVERY CLOUD

CILIP Cataloguing & Indexing Group

Annual Conference

Every cloud has a silver lining? Changes in cataloguing in 'interesting times'.

Call for Papers

Proposals for papers are invited for the CIG/ CIGS Annual Conference 2010, "title": subtitle. To be held at the University of Exeter from 13-15 September 2010.

What are cataloguers doing to get through these days of recession and financial stringency? Some of us are under clouds and some of us are computing in them. The 2010 Cataloguing and Indexing Group conference will look at the pressures facing the cataloguing community and how people are working through them. Some current developments may have come out of difficult circumstances but may signal the way of the future. e.g. Management initiatives (reducing cost, increasing efficiency, doing more with less, etc); cataloguing developments and changes automated metadata extraction, harvesting, re-purposing and re-use); technical developments (shared services, cloud solutions, vertical search, etc); new standards and protocols (not just RDA!); standardisation; etc, etc. If you think you might have a story to tell this is your chance.

Proposals for papers should be submitted to Andrew Coburn no later than Friday 26 February 2010. Please complete the attached form. Papers should be 30-45 minutes in length. Papers will be considered for publication in Catalogue & Index following the conference. If the presentation of the paper is accompanied by a PowerPoint or similar presentation, CIG will publish the presentation on its website.

Submissions will be evaluated by the CIG committee and notification of the selection decisions will be made during March 2010. CIG will reimburse any reasonable travel and accommodation expenses incurred by invited speakers.
