Call for Papers

The IATUL 2014 Programme Committee invites proposals for papers and posters for the 35th IATUL  Annual Conference "Measures for Success:  Library Resources and Effectiveness under Scrutiny".

University libraries today are faced with leading and responding to continuous change, accelerated by the exponential growth of technological innovation and very wide ranging expectations by academic administrators and leaders. Information discovery tools are no longer the monopoly of libraries and increasing "openness" characterizes the whole process of engaging in and disseminating science.
More and more, libraries are challenged to demonstrate the "value added" and "return on investment" (ROI) components, especially at times of financial constraints and uncertainty. To resonate among users and stakeholders, libraries need to be able to produce flexible, relevant, robust, and scalable responses in a dynamic, global and constantly evolving higher education environment.

We invite papers and posters that will contribute to an informative and lively exploration of the following topics:
. Metrics: bibliometrics, altmetrics, statistics, quality management (performance indicators), library analytics etc.
. Marketing: advocacy (stakeholders' perspective), outreach to patrons, communication channels, etc.
. Library organization and redesign
. Library as space: for patrons, for librarians; hosting emerging technologies
. Information resources internal: acquisition models, cataloguing, LMS, monopolies in information provision, etc.
. Information resources external: open access, copyright, repositories, virtual library, visualization, servicing MOOCs & other online and distance education models
. Competencies for a complex environment: challenges in the library profession, professional perspectives, educational models for librarians, training & development
