Call for Papers: Satellite Meeting
Theme: Open Access: Action Required
Sponsored by: IFLA Section on Serials and Other Continuing Resources
Co-sponsored by: IFLA Section on Acquisition and Collection Development &
the European Solidarity Center, Gdańsk, Poland
Hosted by: Joseph Conrad Voivodship and City Public Library in Gdańsk, Poland

Venue: European Solidarity Center, Gdańsk, Poland
Call for Proposals and Papers:
Open Access (OA) resources are important to the information needs of
today’s researchers. Over the years, the number of OA resources has
grown substantially and will continue to do so. They are here to stay.
This satellite will address how libraries and others are meeting the
challenges of Open Access. It will attempt to answer how libraries are
staffing and organizing operations to support OA. Another focus will
be how libraries identify OA resources and market them to their
communities. The satellite will also consider long term preservation
of OA resources.
The program will be divided into three sessions titled "Long-term
preservation of Open Access Resources", "Marketing of Open Access
Resources," and "Discovery and Access of Open Access Resources”.
Librarians, information professionals, researchers, editors, and
others are invited to submit paper proposals addressing topics that
relate with one of the three session themes. Examples of such topics
include (but are not limited to):
Selecting and identifying OA resources
Discoverability of OA resources and datasets
Best practices for staffing and organizing OA operations
Promoting and Marketing OA resources
Partnerships between vendors and librarians for OA
Institutional Repositories and long term preservation solutions
Recruiting authors for OA publishing

Authors should submit proposals only if they are able to attend the
Satellite Conference. At least one author for each accepted paper must

robust professional experience.

PowerPoint or other visual program is encouraged for the benefit of
the entire audience. The official language of the Satellite Conference
