The Call for Papers for LIBER’s 2019 Annual Conference in Dublin, from 26 to 28 June, is now open.
The deadline for submitting a proposal is 14 January 2019.
In this time of information overload, ‘fake news’, ever-growing possibilities of digital scholarship and worldwide developments in Open Science, library support is needed more than ever. For as long as we can remember, libraries have been caretakers and disseminators of knowledge. Now that information and knowledge seems to be available for all, it still is the library which takes care of that availability, helps to ‘translate’ huge amounts of data to comprehensible and usable input for science, and takes care of disseminating the results of research and education to society at large. This role of research libraries is the focus of our next LIBER Annual Conference.
The Topics:
- Citizen science and public engagement
- Copyright and legal matters
- Information ethics
- Open Science, including Open Access
- Linked open data and semantic interoperability
- Digital humanities and digital cultural heritage
- The future of collections
- Bibliometrics
- Emerging initiatives
