Colleagues,
As a member of the program committee for Educause 2006
[http://www.educause.edu/conference/annual/2006] I would like to invite
you to submit a proposal for presenting at next year's annual meeting
which will be held October 9-12, 2006 in Dallas. This is a terrific
conference where information technologists, librarians, faculty, and
administrators come together to explore issues of information access and
technology in higher education. Over 7,000 participants from 41
countries attended Educause 2005.
This year the "Library" track has been expanded to focus on two topic
areas. The first addresses issues surrounding the development, delivery
and preservation of digital content and the other concerns information
resources and services. Other tracks/topic areas include teaching and
learning, leadership, planning and assessment and more. Therefore,
there is a lot of latitude to showcase your project!
Proposals may be submitted online at
http://www.educause.edu/conference/annual/9291 and they must be
submitted by January 23rd, 2006. I have included information below to
give you some idea of potential topics in the Library track. If you
have a question, please feel free to contact me. If you would like more
information about Educause go to http://www.educause.edu/.
Thanks,
Mary Molinaro

Topic Area: Digital Content Creation, Delivery, and Preservation
Libraries are using technology to build digital collections and preserve
access to them over time, as they enhance access to traditional library
collections. Librarians and information technologists are working
together to develop strategies and standards to ensure the long-term
preservation of digital assets. Seamless university-wide information
systems are needed to sustain institutional repositories, virtual
collections, and scholarship produced by academic departments, research
centers, labs, and the library.
Key phrases for this topic area include:
* Copyright, fair use, and intellectual property issues
* Creation, integration, and preservation of digital content

Topic Area: Information Resources and Services
Libraries are leading the way in the development of faculty and
research collections beyond the traditional boundaries of the library,
especially in explaining and supporting the development of metadata.
They also seek to provide access to scholarly information in multiple
formats and develop new services for an increasingly mobile user base.
Libraries are using technology to position the library as a leader in
the institution's information management process. Librarians and
information technologists are collaborating, using new technologies to
meet users' changing needs and expectations. Librarians and libraries
are guiding institutional policy on information literacy, developing
curricula and courses to address this critical area. Libraries are
playing a principal institutional role in addressing faculty and
administrator concerns about copyright, fair use, intellectual property
issues, and current legislation.
