Subject: Call for Papers: Milan 2009 Cataloguing Section Open Session
Call for Papers: IFLA Cataloguing Section
75th World Library and Information Congress, Milan, Italy, 23 - 27
August 2009
Session Theme: New Principles, New Rules for New Catalogues
The IFLA Cataloguing Section (IFLA CATS) invites cataloguers and others
involved in the following to express their interest in making
presentations at the section's programme during the World Library and
Information Congress in Milan, Italy, 23-27 August 2009.
2009 will be a very interesting year in the area of cataloguing and
bibliographic control. IFLA will publish a new statement of
international cataloguing principles; a new cataloguing code, RDA
(Resource Description and Access), replacing the AACR2, will be
published in 2009 and implemented the following year by four
participating countries (U.S., Canada, U.K., and Australia) and maybe
more countries will follow soon after that; in Italy, the host country
of the World Library and Information Congress 2009, new cataloguing
rules will be published.
The Standing Committee of the Cataloguing Section has therefore decided
to dedicate the open session of 2009 to the subject of rule-making.
Presentations on the topic "New Principles, New Rules for New
Catalogues" are requested. Two successful proposals on the topic will be
identified.
Send a detailed abstract (1 page or at least 300 words) of the proposed
paper (must not have been published elsewhere) and relevant biographical
information of author(s)/presenter(s) by 15 December 2008 via email to:
Anders Cato, Chair, Cataloguing Section
e-mail: anders.cato(a)kb.se
The abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Cataloguing Section's
Standing Committee. Successful proposals will be identified by 31
January 2009.
Full papers will be due by 15 April 2009 to allow time for review of
papers and preparation of translations; papers should be no longer than
20 pages. 15-20 minutes will be allowed for a summary delivery of the
paper during the Cataloguing Section's programme.
Please note that the expenses of attending the Milan conference will be
the responsibility of the author(s)/presenter(s) of accepted papers.
