Still we are pursuing the same objective. This sustainable development must be able to satisfy today's needs without compromising the capacity of future generations to meet their own.

In this conference we will seek to explore strategies and practices that will allow us to develop libraries, archives and other information units in the Caribbean region within the framework of sustainable development, for the benefit of the diverse communities that we serve. It is intended to be a forum for persons to share ideas, innovative developments and proactive solutions to the issues and challenges we face as information professionals in a developing region, operating in a world of continuous change.

Paper presentation proposals may be practical or theoretical. Presenters are encouraged to relate their papers to the content area groups of ACURIL, namely Agriculture and the Environment, Health, Medicine and Natural Sciences, Knowledge Management, Organization and Retrieval of Information, and Law.

At ACURIL XXXIX GUADELOUPE, the poster sessions will aim to provide a forum for information professionals to highlight and share successful ideas and experiences with colleagues by presenting a research study, a special project, a problem-solving strategy, an innovative program or service in library and /or information services focusing on the conference topics. Bulletin boards will be provided to display the posters. Presenters will be required to bring finished displays to Guadeloupe.

During the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Conference in 1992, 180 nations showed their will to participate in a series of actions whose objective was to seek for a “sustainable development”. Still we are pursuing the same objective. This sustainable development must be able to satisfy today’s needs without compromising the capacity of future generations to meet their own.

In this conference we will seek to explore strategies and practices that will allow us to develop libraries, archives and other information units in the Caribbean region within the framework of sustainable development, for the benefit of the diverse communities that we serve. It is intended to be a forum for persons to share ideas, innovative developments and proactive solutions to the issues and challenges we face as information professionals in a developing region, operating in a world of continuous change.

Paper presentation proposals may be practical or theoretical. Presenters are encouraged to relate their papers to the content area groups of ACURIL, namely Agriculture and the Environment, Health, Medicine and Natural Sciences, Knowledge Management, Organization and Retrieval of Information, and Law.

To effectively explore the conference theme, The Future of Libraries within the Framework of Sustainable Development, three broad subject areas have been chosen as sub-themes for ACURIL 2009.

The Conference Sub-Themes are:
