The President of the Association of Caribbean University, Research and Institutional Libraries (ACURIL), Mme Bea Bazile, invites proposals for paper presentations at ACURIL XXXIX, to be held from June 2-5, 2009, at the Hotel Arawak. The theme of the conference is The Future of Libraries within the Framework of Sustainable Development.
This Call for Workshops is open to all information specialists including, librarians, archivists, record administrators, and educators in the field of information science, as well as information providers.
During the Rio 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 those 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.
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:
• The sustainable development in society and libraries: a new paradigm
• Changes in the perception of the Library concept to ensure social responsibility with imagination and innovation: buildings, collections. Staff and users, with what vision, mission and goals…
• From local to global: changes in directions in order to change behavior: solidarity, cooperation and training
Workshop Format:
Interactive workshops are encouraged, and particularly fo focusencouraged to relate their materials 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.
Workshop size will be limited to 25 participants so as to encourage interaction. Presenters are alsoencouraged, where suitable, to use a wide range of illustrative matter to support their workshop presentations. Workshops can be presented in any of the three official languages of ACURIL - English, French or Spanish.
