https://www.eventbrite.com/e/digital-initiatives-symposium-tickets-9504204331
Proposals are now being accepted for the first annual Digital
Initiatives Symposium, a day-long event focused on digital elements of
library ecosystems and featuring a bepress Digital Commons user group
meeting, hosted by Copley Library at the University of San Diego.
The symposium’s inaugural year will focus on digital initiatives and
institutional repositories. With the growing popularity of institutional
repositories, libraries are looking for new and increasingly diverse
ways to integrate them more fully into library and university systems:
as platforms for library publishing, as components of research data
management plans, and as part of long-term preservation solutions.
We are accepting proposals for 45-minute concurrent sessions and 1½-hour
panel discussions. We welcome proposals on innovative uses and places
sites? for repositories throughout the library and the university, and
on practical, theoretical, organizational or administrative topics
related to institutional repositories. We are particularly interested in
sessions that consider
• Innovative, “non-traditional,” or expanded repository services
• Integrating repositories into other library initiatives, digital or
otherwise
• Integrating repositories into university initiatives outside the
library (e.g., managing ETD workflows through repositories)
• Liaison librarians, disciplines, and institutional repositories
• Repositories as tools for research and pedagogy
• Repositories in public, special, or other non-academic libraries
• Institutional repositories and the scholarly communication lifecycle
• Digital initiatives and copyright
Submission Guidelines and Selection Criteria
Panel discussions: 90 minutes
Concurrent sessions (case studies, white papers, demonstrations, or
panels): 45 minutes
Please plan to leave 10-15 minutes for questions.
Submissions must include:
• Session title
• Presenters’ names, titles, and affiliations
• A brief abstract, no more than 300 words (If accepted, the abstract
will be used as part of the program and published along with conference
proceedings.)
• A longer description of the session, approximately 500 words
• A brief statement on learning outcomes for the session
• Technology or other requirements
Submissions will be evaluated based on the relevance of the topic and
potential to advance thinking about digital initiatives and
institutional repositories. Acceptance is competitive. Registration will
be waived for accepted presenters.
More about the Program
• The day will feature two panel discussions and a number of concurrent
sessions to explore these and other questions about institutional
repositories. We welcome participants from all sizes and types of
institutions and at all stages of IR development, from those running
robust programs to those just exploring the idea of repositories.
• The symposium will feature two keynote addresses:
Lorraine Haricombe, Dean of the University of Kansas Libraries
Lee Van Orsdel, Dean of University Libraries at Grand Valley State
University
• The day will end with a bepress Digital Commons user group session.
This session will be led by bepress and is intended for people already
working with Digital Commons and those interested in learning more.
